The winner of this year’s Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival is a triptych. Directed by Jim Jarmusch, the film follows three families, their inner lives revealed through a slow, often deadpan succession of conversations, glances, and silences. In the first story, Tom Waits plays a recovered drug addict who is visited by his straight-edge adult twins (Adam Driver and Mayim Bialik). The second story centers on a cold mother, played by Charlotte Rampling, and her annual tea with her two daughters (Cate Blanchett and Vicky Krieps). “Shall I be a mother?” she asks. “Might as well start sometime,” Krieps responds. The third story presents siblings, played by Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat, who have come to the Paris apartment of their recently deceased parents. In each segment of the film, a Rolex watch appears. —Jeanne Malle
