“Father Mother Sister Brother,” Jim Jarmusch’s quietly humorous relationship triptych, won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival Saturday. The film about the relationships between adult children, and with their parents, stars Adam Driver, Vicky Krieps and Cate Blanchett. It was an upset win over some of the festival’s bigger hits, including “The Voice of Hind Rajab,” which won the runner-up award, and Park Chan-wook’s “No Other Choice,” which left empty-handed. “All of us here who make films are not motivated by competition,” Jarmusch said. “But I truly appreciate this unexpected honor.” He thanked the festival for “appreciating our quiet film.” He said he related to Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa who once said, while accepting an honor from the Academy Awards at an advanced age, that he was worried he still didn’t know what he was doing.
