Filmmaker Jim Jarmusch<\/a> has assembled a characteristically stacked cast to dig into some prickly family dynamics in the new teaser for his next film, Father Mother Sister Brother.<\/p>\n Like some of Jarmusch\u2019s most renowned works \u2014 Mystery Train<\/a>, Night on Earth<\/a>, Coffee and Cigarettes<\/a> \u2014 Father Mother Sister Brother is an anthology film with three distinct stories centered around the dynamics between adult children and their parents. The Father story, for instance, stars longtime Jarmusch favorite Tom Waits<\/a> as a reclusive dad, living somewhere in the northeast United States, who\u2019s visited by his grown children, played by Adam Driver and Mayim Bialik.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhat do you say we toast our tea to \u2018family relations,\u2019\u201d Waits\u2019 character says in that distinct, gravely drawl of his. Later in the clip, Driver\u2019s character \u2014 who seems to have a much more strained relationship with dad \u2014 questions, \u201cCan you toast with tea, though?\u201d This elicits a disappointed shake of the head from Waits, and a deadpan, \u201cReally?\u201d from Bialik.<\/p>\n In the Brother Sister part of the triptych, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat play twins who return to the Paris apartment where they grew up to take care of a family tragedy. And in Mother, Cate Blanchett and Vicky Krieps are sisters visiting their novelist mother, played by Charlotte Rampling, in Dublin.<\/p>\n \u201cWe seem to be accidentally color-coordinated,\u201d Rampling\u2019s character says with cheerful disdain, while acknowledging the touch of red in everyone\u2019s outfit. \u201cHow embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n Father Mother Sister Brother is set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival this Saturday, Aug. 30. In a director\u2019s statement, Jarmusch called it \u201ca kind of anti-action film, its subtle and quiet style carefully constructed to allow small details to accumulate \u2014 almost like flowers being carefully placed in three delicate arrangements.\u201d<\/p>\n The film marks Jarmusch\u2019s first in six years, following 2019\u2019s The Dead Don\u2019t Die<\/a>. It\u2019s set to be released in the U.S. on Dec. 24 via Mubi.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
