“We seem to be accidentally color coordinated – how embarrassing!” Mubi has revealed a first look teaser trailer for the film titled Father Mother Sister Brother, the latest Jim Jarmusch feature film that has been in the works for years already. It’s now set to premiere at the 2025 Venice Film Festival underway now, and it’ll next play at the New York & Vancouver Film Fests this fall before opening in theaters in December. A new ensemble comedy feature a huge cast of characters – the film is a triptych with segments set in the US, France, and Ireland. Estranged siblings reunite after years apart, forced to confront unresolved tensions and reevaluate their strained relationships with their emotionally distant parents. A series of character studies: quiet, observational and non-judgemental — a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy. Starring Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Sarah Greene, Indya Moore, Luka Sabbat, & Françoise Lebrun. This is a strange teaser that doesn’t exactly get me more excited to see this film, but I’m interested to watch nonetheless because it is Jarmusch.

Here’s the first teaser trailer for Jim Jarmusch’s film Father Mother Sister Brother, from YouTube:

Father Mother Sister Brother is a feature film, though carefully constructed in the form of a triptych. The 3 stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Each of the three chapters takes place in the present, and each in a different country. Father is set in the Northeast US, Mother in Dublin, Ireland, and Sister Bother in Paris, France. The film is a series of character studies, quiet, observational and non-judgmental – a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy. Father Mother Sister Brother is written and directed by acclaimed American indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, director of many great films including Stranger Than Paradise, Down by Law, Mystery Train, Night on Earth, Dead Man, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, Coffee and Cigarettes, Broken Flowers, The Limits of Control, Only Lovers Left Alive, Paterson, Gimme Danger, and The Dead Don’t Die previously. Produced by Charles Gillibert, Joshua Astrachan, Carter Logan, and Atilla Salih Yücer. This is premiering at the 2025 Venice Film Festival underway now. Mubi opens Jarmusch’s Father Mother Sister Brother in select US theaters starting on December 24th, 2025 late this year. How does that look?
