YSL's Saint Laurent Productions drops new film, Father Mother Sister Brother
The iconic fashion house continues its cinematic streak, unveiling its latest film by cult director Jim Jarmusch, set to premiere at the prestigious Venice Film Festival.
By Reta Lee,
Ever since creative director Anthony Vaccarello took the helm at Saint Laurent, he's been pushing the envelope, and Saint Laurent Productions is his latest power move. As the first-ever fashion house to launch a full-fledged film production company, the brand is blurring the lines between high fashion and the silver screen. Vaccarello, a self-confessed cinephile, has created this subsidiary not just to design costumes, but to champion the work of legendary directors like Jacques Audiard, David Cronenberg, and Paolo Sorrentino, all of whom had their films from the production house screened at the Cannes Film Festival. This bold move is a testament to Vaccarello's visionary approach, proving that Saint Laurent isn't just a label, it's a creative force shaping the future of both cinema and style.
And guess what, fashion film fanatics? Saint Laurent Productions is making waves again, and this time they're heading straight for the 2025 Venice Film Festival with their fourth feature film, Father Mother Sister Brother! And get this—it's written and directed by none other than the legendary Jim Jarmusch himself.
Who is the star-studded cast of Father Mother Sister Brother?
This is huge, people! The film is not only part of the official selection but will also be competing for the top prize. And if that's not exciting enough, just look at this star-studded cast: Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Sarah Greene, Indya Moore, Luka Sabbat, and Françoise Lebrun are all on board. Seriously, name a more iconic ensemble, we'll wait!
What has Saint Lauren Productions done in the past?
This isn't Saint Laurent Productions' first rodeo, but it is their first time in official competition at Venice. They've been making their mark at the Cannes Film Festival for two years running, showing off Pedro Almodóvar's Strange Way of Life and Jean-Luc Godard's Trailer of the Film That Will Never Exist in 2023, followed by three more features in 2024. Talk about a powerhouse move from the fashion world into serious cinema!
Father Mother Sister Brother is presented by Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, MUBI, and The Apartment (a Fremantle company), in association with a whole host of other amazing names like Jarmusch’s badjetlag and CG Cinema. With co-production and financing from Ireland's Hail Mary Pictures and Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, you know this is going to be a cinematic masterpiece. Get ready, because Saint Laurent is proving they're not just about killer clothes, they're about unforgettable stories too!
