The Golden Lion 2025 Awarded To Jim Jarmusch

Golden Lion 2025 to Jarmusch's Father Mother Sister Brother

Famous American director Jim Jarmusch' s Father Mother Sister Brother has won the Golden Lion for Best Film at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival.

Father Mother Sister Brother is a feature film, though carefully constructed in the form of a triptych. The three 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 north-east US, Mother in Dublin, Ireland, and Sister Brother in Paris, France. The film is a series of character studies: quiet, observational and non-judgmental - a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy.
