Winner of the Venice Film Festival Golden Lion, writer and director Jim Jarmusch’s Father Mother Sister Brother is a study in familial dynamics constructed in the form of a triptych.

Scott Cooper’s biographical drama Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, adapted from Warren Zanes’s 2023 best-selling chronicle of the same title, is set at an early-’80s crossroads in Springsteen’s career when, still negotiating the transformative waves of his rising fame, he crafted the personal acoustic songs that would become his mythic album "Nebraska"—at the same time that he was recording the demos for "Born in the U.S.A." which would catapult him to global superstardom.
