Cate Blanchett captivated audiences at the Venice Film Festival with her role in Jim Jarmusch's latest film, 'Father Mother Sister Brother'. The movie premiered to resounding acclaim, earning a five-minute standing ovation in the Sala Grande theatre.

Alongside co-stars Vicky Krieps, Charlotte Rampling, Mayim Bialik, and Indya Moore, Blanchett's performance in this slice-of-life narrative was praised by critics and attendees alike. Despite the notable absence of Adam Driver and Tom Waits, Luka Sabbat represented the male cast at the event.

The film is structured as a triptych, with stories set in the northeastern U.S., Dublin, and Paris, focusing on complex family dynamics. It marks Jarmusch's first Venice outing since 2003, with Mubi and Cineart set to distribute the film across multiple regions.
