The film features an impressive ensemble cast, including Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Adam Driver, Tom Waits, and Charlotte Rampling. This marks Jarmusch's ninth entry vying for the coveted Palme d’Or, a title he has yet to secure despite his noteworthy contributions to cinema.
The narrative of Father Mother Sister Brother unfolds through three distinct stories set in different locations, exploring the intricate dynamics between adults and children, as well as their often complicated relationships with their parents. The first segment, Father, takes place on the U.S. East Coast, Mother is set in Dublin, and Sister Brother unfolds against the backdrop of Paris.
Joining Jarmusch in the competition are renowned filmmakers such as Spike Lee, Richard Linklater, Joachim Trier, Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne, Kirill Serebrennikov, and Wes Anderson. As reported by Keslassy, the competition lineup remains sparse, reflecting the fierce competition among prominent directors for a spot in the spotlight.
