“Father Mother Sister Brother” is a triptych, following three separate stories set in different countries and revolving around relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parents and each other. The first part, “Father,” is set in the east coast in Northeastern U.S., “Mother” in Dublin, Ireland, and “Sister Brother” in Paris, France. Possibly one of Jarmusch’s most personal films, “Father Mother Sister Brother” is a “comedy interwoven with threads of melancholy,” and “character studies, quiet, observational and non-judgmental,” said the film’s description. The prestige key crew includes cinematographers Frederick Elmes and Yorick Le Saux, production designers are Mark Friedberg and Marco Bittner-Rosser, editor Affonso Gonçalves, costume designer Catherine George, sound designer Robert Hein and casting director Ellen Lewis.
Could this one be a player if it is ready by fall? I could see it premiering at Venice, or if time isnt enough, it might be pushed to Cannes'25. I know that Jarmusch films never click with the Academy, but you never know.
