Venice -Indian director Jim Jarmush won the “Father Mother Sister Brother” at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, three -part attention on families, aging and iconic Golden Lion with uncomfortable relations between parents and their adult children.
Divided into prescribed chapters in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, the film stars Tom Wates, Adam Driver, Myim Boys, Charlotte Rampling, Kate Blanchet, Vicky Cripps, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat.
Each installment flows slowly through domestic encounters where nothing happens, but small gestures and silence exclude generations that can surround families.
72 -year -old Jarmush is a mainstay of American independent cinema, making its name in the 1980s with offbeat, low -budget works such as “Strenger Than Paradise” and “Down by Law”.
His latest film mainly attracted positive reviews, but was not a favorite for the top award, “The Voice of Hind Rajb” instead of many critics, a difficult life to kill a five -year -old Palestinian girl during the Gaza war.
Finally, the film, directed by Tunisia’s Cowathar Ben Hania, took the runner-up Silver Lion.
Italy’s Tony Surillo was named the best actor for his portrayal of a tired President near the end of his mandate in “La Grazia”, ​​directed by his long -time colleague Paolo Sorantino,
China’s Shin Jhili won the best actress for her role in “The Sun Rises on as All”, a play directed by Ka Shangjun, who describes questions of sacrifices, guilt and unresolved feelings among those who share a dark secret.
The Venice Festival marks the beginning of the awards and regularly throws the big favorite for the Oscar, with more than 90 Oscars enrollment and about 20 winning the films here in the last four years.
In front of Gaza
Venice is often seen as the most glamorous and at least political of major film festivals, but in 2025 films have the strongest impact on the current events, with Gaza’s ongoing Israeli invasion with a long shadow.
As he unveiled his own picture in the last weekend, Jarmush admitted that he was worried that one of his chief distributors had taken money from a company regarding the Israeli army.
“The Voice of Hind Rajab”, who uses the real audio of a young girl’s desperate arguments for help because his car comes under the Israeli gunman, was a fan favorite, who won the 24 -minute standing record at his premiere.
The best director went to Beni Safi for the node “The Smashing Machine”, who starred Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the role of real -life, mixed martial arts pioneer, Mark Carr.
The Special Jury Award Gaye Gianfranco Rosie of Italy went to his black and white documentary “under the clouds”, about the Naples chaotic life in the southern city, marked by the danger of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Venice was a trio of Netflix Pictures in films leaving empty-handed, Catherine Biglo’s nuclear thriller “A House of Dynamite”, Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankstein” and Noah Bombak’s comedy-drama “J Kelly” again.
The “no other option” by South Korea’s Park Chan-Wook also failed to secure an award, similarly, despite strong reviews, similarly by “Bagonia” by Yorgos Lantimos, in which Emma Stone starred.
The chief jury was chaired by American director Alexander Payne, who joined the fellow filmmaker Stephen Breeze, Maurya Delpero, Christian Mungu and Mohammad Rasolof with actresses Fernanda Torres and Jhao Tao.
