"A typically laconic Tom Waits plays Adam Driver's father in the first trailer for Jim Jarmusch's star-studded new film, Father Mother Sister Brother. Watch it below. Written and directed by Jarmusch, the movie is "carefully constructed in the form of a triptych," according to a press release. "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.""
"The ensemble cast also features Mayim Bialik as Driver's mother alongside Cate Blanchett, Charlotte Rampling, Vicky Krieps, Sarah Greene, Indya Moore, Luka Sabbat, and Françoise Lebrun. Waits has a long collaborative history with Jarmusch, dating back to his role in 1986's Down by Law. The reclusive musician later appeared in the filmmaker's 2003 anthology film, Coffee and Cigarettes, and the 2019 zombie comedy The Dead Don't Die. He also composed the music for Jarmusch's 1991 film, Night on Earth."
"Meanwhile, Father Mother Sister Brother marks Driver's third film with Jarmusch after appearing in 2016's meditative Paterson as well as The Dead Don't Die. Father Mother Sister Brother premieres today, August 31st, at the Venice Film Festival ahead of its release in US theaters on Wednesday, December 24th."
