Jim Jarmusch’s Father Mother Sister Brother Unveils First Look Teaser via Mubi

Acclaimed indie filmmaker Jim Jarmusch returns with a fresh vision in his upcoming feature film Father Mother Sister Brother, which has just dropped its first look teaser trailer through Mubi. Known for his poetic and unconventional storytelling, Jarmusch’s latest work is a contemplative, character-driven drama with an ensemble cast that’s nothing short of stellar.

The film features an impressive lineup including Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Sarah Greene, Indya Moore, Luka Sabbat, and Françoise Lebrun. Each of these performers brings their unique presence to a film that promises to be as introspective as it is emotionally rich.

Father Mother Sister Brother is structured as a triptych—three distinct but thematically connected stories that explore the complex dynamics between adult children and their parents. The chapters—Father, Mother, and Sister Brother—take place in different parts of the world: the Northeastern United States, Dublin (Ireland), and Paris (France), respectively. Each chapter quietly observes fractured familial relationships with a blend of subdued humor and gentle melancholy.

Jarmusch’s signature style—deadpan dialogue, meditative pacing, and minimalist framing—seems well suited for a film that prioritizes emotional nuance over plot. The teaser offers glimpses of visually stark, emotionally loaded moments, underscored by a score that blends silence and ambient tension. While it’s billed as a comedy, the tone is far more subtle—hinting at a deeper, more reflective exploration of family, distance, and emotional inheritance.

Slated for release on December 24, 2025, Father Mother Sister Brother looks to close the year on an introspective note, offering cinephiles a textured, thoughtful drama from one of independent cinema’s most distinctive voices. With Mubi backing the release, the film is expected to have a strong presence on the international festival circuit before its global premiere.
