‘Father Mother Sister Brother’ Red Carpet — Venice Film Festival

Jim Jarmusch and the cast of Father Mother Sister Brother were like one big family during Sunday’s world premiere at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival.

The auteur celebrated the movie’s launch in the main competition as he walked the red carpet at the Lido in a black-on-black suit with the movie’s stars Cate Blanchett, Indya Moore, Mayim Bialik and more.

Also in attendance were co-stars Vicky Krieps, Charlotte Rampling and Luka Sabbat.

Willem Dafoe walked the red carpet as well, accompanied by The Souffleur writer/director Gastón Solnicki, as their film debuts in the Orizzonti section.
