Jim Jarmusch

Jarmusch brings together an impressive cast (Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, Tom Waits, Charlotte Rampling) and tells three self-contained stories about the relationships between parents and children, infused with his iconic underground humor and produced by Saint Laurent. He doesn’t judge; he simply observes. A work of maturity and rare balance, winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. — Father Mother Sister Brother is a feature film, though carefully constructed in the form of a triptych. The three stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parents, and each other. Each of the three chapters takes place in the present, and each in a different country: Northeast US, Ireland, and France. The film is a series of character studies, quiet, observational and non-judgmental – a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy. — Golden Lion | Venice Film Festival | 2025

Urban culture, rap, gangster cinema, and feudal Japan converge in Jim Jarmusch’s iconic film. One of the defining creations of the celebrated cinematic year of 1999. — A solitary contract killer, living on a New York rooftop and devoutly adhering to the secret code of the samurai, suddenly finds himself in the mafia’s crosshairs. — Official Selection | Cannes Film Festival | 1999 Nomination for Best Foreign Film | César Awards | 2000

Vampires, erotic rather than deadly, melancholic rather than scary. Jarmusch's vampires are charming anti-heroes, in a fairytale about nostalgia and love that endures through centuries. Swinton and Hiddleston in roles... to-die-for. — Living in the mysterious landscapes of Detroit and Tangier, a hermitic musician, deeply disappointed by humanity, is reunited with his hopeful and enigmatic mistress. Their love story has lasted for centuries, but their romance will be disturbed by the appearance of her uncontrollable younger sister. Will these wise and fragile characters survive as modern society collapses around them? — Official Selection | Cannes Film Festival | 2013 Cannes Soundtrack Award | Cannes Film Festival | 2013

The most beautiful film Jarmusch made during the 10s, seeks poetry through the images of an everyday life without exhausting rhythms, rhapsodizing the repetitiveness, indolence and kindness of its heroes that are no other than the wonderful couple interpreted by Adam Driver and Golshifteh Farahani. — Paterson is a bus driver in the eponymous city of Paterson, New Jersey. Every day, he follows a routine: he performs his daily itinerary, observing the city and eavesdropping on the conversations around him. He writes verses in a notebook. He walks his dog. He stops at a bar and drinks only one beer. And then he goes home to his wife, Laura. Instead, Laura's world is constantly changing. She has new dreams almost daily. He applauds her newfound ambitions and she supports his talent for poetry. — Palm Dog Award | Cannes Film Festival | 2016 Official Selection | San Sebastián International Film Festival | 2016

Those who love music more than gossip will appreciate Jim Jarmusch's simple and clear look back to the years of rock ‘n’ roll mythology, with Iggy Pop and his Stooges truthfully describing the inner workings of the industry, deconstructing an entire era. — The story of The Stooges, one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands of all time, through a cultural, political, historical and musical prism. A story about their adventures, relationships, "exploits", reasons behind their success, musical inspirations, as well as the legacy they left in the music scene. — Official Selection | Cannes Film Festival | 2016 Official Selection | San Sebastian International Film Festival | 2016
