FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER BY JIM JARMUSCH AWARDED GOLDEN LION FOR BEST FILM
editor MAREK BARTEK
The feature film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch, and presented by Saint Laurent Productions, MUBI and The Apartment, received Golden Lion for Best Film during 82nd Venice International Film Festival, and rightfully so. Starring the likes of Adam Driver, Cate Blanchett, Mayim Bialik , Charlotte Rampling or Indya Moore, the film is constructed in the form of a triptych, following three distinct relationships between adult children and their somewhat distant parents. Described by Jarmusch, it is ‘anti-action film’ composed out of character studies — quiet, observant and non-judgemental.

“FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is a kind of anti-action film, its subtle and quiet style carefully constructed to allow small details to accumulate – almost like flowers being carefully placed in three delicate arrangements. Collaborations with the masterful cinematographers Frederick Elmes and Yorick Le Saux, the brilliant editor Afonso Gonçalves and other frequent collaborators elevate what started as words on a page into a form of pure cinema.”
