Overview
- The Venice Golden Lion winner opens in cinemas on December 24.
- Structured as three self-contained episodes, it observes fractured family relationships in New Jersey, Dublin, and Paris, performed by a star cast led by Adam Driver, Tom Waits, Cate Blanchett, and Charlotte Rampling.
- Critics describe a return to Jarmusch’s minimalist trademarks, including black-and-white imagery, laconic humor, and deliberate pacing.
- The mood is reinforced by a calm, distant score composed by Jarmusch with Annika Henderson.
- Coverage also notes a production-credit controversy involving Saint Laurent and Mubi, to which Jarmusch replied that “all corporate money is dirty.”
