Jim Jarmusch’s Family Tale ‘Father Mother Sister Brother’ Scores 5-Minute Venice Ovation
Father Mother Sister Brother from vet indie director Jim Jarmusch premiered at Venice Fim Festnon Sunday night.
Blanchett, who plays a pair of sisters with Vicky Krieps in the slice-of-life tale of three different families, beamed as the applause roared in the Sala Grande theater.
As the credits rolled, director Jarmusch paused to give each of his leading ladies–including Blanchett, Krieps, Charlotte Rampling, Mayim Bialik and Indya Moore–a kiss on the hand.

Luka Sabbat was representing the men in the film at the premiere, as Adam Driver and Tom Waits — who play a father and son in the film — were unable to attend.
After five minutes of clapping, the director gave a nod to his cast and they began to file out of the theater.
The premiere marks Jarmusch’s first time on the Lido in 22 years since debuting “Coffee & Cigarettes” at the festival in 2003. A Cannes regular, Jarmusch has presented many films on the Croisette, including “The Dead Don’t Die” in 2019, which played on opening night.
Producers on “Father Mother Sister Brother” are Charles Gillibert (“Annette”), Joshua Astrachan, Carter Logan and Atilla Salih Yücer. The film is produced by Saint Laurent Prods., Mubi and the Apartment (a Fremantle company) with Jarmusch’s Badjetlag and Gillibert’s CG Cinema.
