US director Jim Jarmusch on Saturday won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for “Father Mother Sister Brother.”
The highly anticipated announcement saw Jarmusch take home the top prize from a competition jury headed by his compatriot Alexander Payne.
The film deals with the complex relationships between adult children and their parents, and features stars such as Cate Blanchett, Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Charlotte Rampling and Vicky Krieps.
It beat critics’ favourites, including “The Voice of Hind Rajab” by Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania, “A House of Dynamite” by US director Kathryn Bigelow and “No Other Choice” by Park Chan Wook of South Korea.
Last year’s Golden Lion was won by Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar for “The Room Next Door.”
Venice is widely regarded as one of Europe’s top three film festivals, alongside Cannes and the Berlinale in the German capital.
