The little teachers who enjoy detecting correspondences, rhymes and easter eggs among the different titles in Jim Jarmusch's filmography they will chat with Father, mother, sister, brotherThe film is full of resonances. From the outset, it connects three stories through a common thread, both thematic and formal, much like several of Jarmusch's previous anthologies. A great admirer of the short story format (an adult, impressionistic, and open-ended short story, in the tradition of certain 20th-century American literature), the filmmaker had previously directed films such as Mystery train (also with three stories), Night on Earth (also contrasting self-contained plots in different parts of the world) or Coffee and cigarettesA collection of black and white short films that always included an iconic overhead shot of a table with an ashtray and cups, which reappears here as a nod to the original. Furthermore, the film revives the visual style of depicting conversations between acquaintances who seem like strangers, and the poetry of earthly matters so prevalent throughout the director's work and style.

When the vast majority of the press and critics accredited at the Venice Film Festival expected the Golden Lion to go to Kaouther Ben Hania –The Tunisian director who shook the Mostra with her denunciation of the genocide in Gaza Voice of Hind Rajab–, the jury chaired by American Alexander Payne has decided to award the gold prize to fellow American Jim Jarmusch, a living legend of American independent cinema who presented in Venice Father mother sister brother, the best film seen on the Mostra screens during the eleven days of the festival.

The arrival this Sunday of the American filmmaker Jim Jarmusch at the Venice Film Festival was an injection of sensitivity and bonhomie in an official competition that, with the exception of the humanistic adaptation of Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro, had been marked by some thrillers full of cruelty and misanthropy, like Bugonia by Yorgos Lanthimos either No other choice by South Korean director Park Chan-wook. In fact, major film festivals seem allergic to the comedy genre, unless the humor is written in a sarcastic tone. In this sense, Jarmusch's new film, titled Father mother sister brother, It should be seen as a delicious oasis of delicacy and happiness in a program dominated by violence and fatalism.
