The 82nd Venice Film Festival came to a close on Saturday, with Jim Jarmusch’s “Father Mother Sister Brother” walking away with the top award, the Golden Lion for Best Film. The drama starring Cate Blanchett is a triptych that follows three stories set in different countries. “Father” takes place in the Northeast U.S.; “Mother” is set in Dublin; and “Sister Brother” unfolds in Paris. The movie zooms in on the relationships between adult children, their parents and each other.
Kaouther Ben Hania’s drama set in Gaza, “The Voice of Hind Rajab,” won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize, while Benny Safie took the Silver Lion for Best Director for “Smashing Machine.”
