Father Mother Sister Brother

The story between parents and children does not end when kids enter adulthood himself, it only deepens and becomes more complex. These bonds are the focus of American indie master Jim Jarmusch’s (Dead Man, Down by Law) latest, unfolding across three separate tales of parental bonds.

Although the three episodes – set in Dublin, Paris and New Jersey – share no common characters, there are deep resonances and sly comparisons. Closeness shown through grief, separation shown through presence, this is a return to the gentle humanism of Paterson for Jim Jarmusch, featuring some of the best actors working today – from Charlotte Rampling to Cate Blanchett – in inspired combinations.
