Jim Jarmusch is back behind the camera after five years.

The auteur has formally announced his latest film “Father Mother Sister Brother,” his first since 2019’s “The Dead Don’t Die.” Jarmusch is reuniting with “The Dead Don’t Die” and “Paterson” actor Adam Driver, who is also leading Francis Ford Coppola’s buzzy Cannes debut “Megalopolis,” as well as his “Coffee & Cigarettes” star Cate Blanchett and frequent collaborator Tom Waits.

“Father Mother Sister Brother” is described as an anthology film following three separate stories centered on strained relationships between adult children and their parents. Each of the trio of plotlines take place in different countries: “Father” is set in the Northeast U.S., “Mother” takes place in Dublin, Ireland, and “Sister Brother” is based in Paris, France.

The film is a “series of character studies, quiet, observational and non-judgmental. A comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy,” the synopsis continues.

Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Tom Waits, Charlotte Rampling, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat have been added to the cast of Jim Jarmusch’s ‘Father Mother Sister Brother.’

Driver, Bialik, Waits, Rampling, Moore and Sabbat join the previously cast Cate Blanchett and Vicky Krieps.

The story is to be presented in 3-parts, 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.#

It is stated that it will be Jarmusch’s most personal of films with “comedy interwoven with threads of melancholy,” and “character studies, quiet, observational and non-judgmental.” Jarmusch has also previously said that the movie will have a strong musical component.

Details on Jim Jarmusch‘s surprise new film project have finally been revealed, and it’s a family affair.

Paparazzi photos from the set made the rounds in January, showing Cate Blanchett filming an outdoor scene with Vicky Krieps (in a pink wig) but little was known about the project at the time as Jarmusch tends to keep things closely guarded. However, on Thursday in Cannes the Match Factory confirmed that it had boarded the project and will handle international sales during the film festival while Jarmusch completes postproduction back in New York.

The film is titled Father Mother Sister Brother and features some of his trusted collaborators. The cast includes Blanchett, Krieps, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Tom Waits, Charlotte Rampling, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat. Per official intel received by The Hollywood Reporter, Father Mother Sister Brother is described as “a feature film in the form of a triptych.

Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Tom Waits, Charlotte Rampling, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat have joined the cast of Jim Jarmusch’s anticipated next film, “Father Mother Sister Brother.”

They’re joining Cate Blanchett and Vicky Krieps, who were previously rumored to be starring after being photographed on set. “Father Mother Sister Brother” recently wrapped production in Paris following shoots in Dublin, Ireland and in the Northeastern U.S. Post-production has begun New York, and the film is expected to be finished later this year.

“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.
