US director Jim Jarmusch takes Venice's top prize  DW  09/07/2025
"Jarmusch's "Father Mother Sister Brother" starring Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, and Tom Waits is a comedy-drama anthology film that explores the complex relationships between adult children and their distant parents. "Father Mother Sister Brother" is the first Jarmusch film to compete at the Venice Film Festival. Several past recipients of the esteemed Golden Lion award, including "Nomadland" and "Joker," have gone on to achieve Oscar success."
"In a decision that may disappoint those opposing the war in Gaza, the most talked-about movie on the Venice Lido did not win the Golden Lion. "The Voice of Hind Rajab," directed by Franco-Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania, received a 23-minute standing ovation at its premiere on Wednesday. Instead, the film, which tells the story of a five-year-old Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces last year, won the festival's second-highest honor, the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize."
