“In appearing to give you nothing, Jim Jarmusch’s almost perversely downplayed trio of short stories winds up giving you almost everything if you can tap into its cool vibrations.”

Father Mother Sister Brother is a triptych: three stories about the relationships between adult children and their somewhat distant parents. A series of character studies, quiet, observational, and non-judgmental—a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy. Or, in the words of its American indie auteur, “a kind of anti-action film”. Golden Lion Winner at the last Venice Film Festival.
