VENICE, Italy—“Father Mother Sister Brother,” Jim Jarmusch’s quietly humorous relationship triptych, won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival Saturday. The film, about the relationships between adult children and with their parents, stars Adam Driver, Vicky Krieps, and Cate Blanchett.

It was an upset win over some of the festival’s bigger hits, including “The Voice of Hind Rajab,” which won the runner-up award, and Park Chan-wook’s “No Other Choice,” which left empty-handed.
