Presented on 35mm
In his first collaboration with cinematographer Frederick Elmes, director Jim Jarmusch assembled an extraordinary international cast of actors (including Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Beatrice Dalle, and Roberto Benigni) for this hilarious quintet of tales of urban displacement and existential angst. Spanning time zones, continents, and languages, Jarmusch’s lovingly askew view of humanity from the passenger seats of five taxicabs in five different cities makes for one of his most charming and beloved films.
In celebration of Frederick Elmes’ work on Father Mother Sister Brother, we are pleased to highlight four classic films shot by him and directed by such luminaries as Jim Jarmusch (Night on Earth—35mm), Ang Lee (The Ice Storm—35mm), Charlie Kaufman (Synecdoche, New York—35mm), and David Lynch (Eraserhead).
