Father Mother Sister Brother

Jim Jarmusch’s latest film, Father Mother Sister Brother, unfolds as a quietly resonant triptych—three subtly linked vignettes set in rural America, Dublin, and Paris—that trace the delicate tensions and aching silences between grown children and their elders. At its emotional core is Tom Waits, delivering a character wrought with understated charm and oddball slyness, playing an enigmatic father whose mismatched wristwear—a genuine Rolex amid apparent poverty—hints at hidden motives and eccentric resilience.
