MUBI has announced that they will release Michel Franco’s new feature New Order this June. The film is described as incendiary and ambitious indictment on class divide and abuse of power which speaks to the Latin American experience whilst resonating beyond its Mexico City setting and interrogating disturbing current global trends. MUBI will debut the film on 25th June.
Here’s a little bit more about the film.
In NEW ORDER, a lavish upper-class wedding goes awry when an unexpected uprising gives way to a violent coup. As seen through the eyes of the sympathetic young bride (Naian Gonzalez Norvind) and the servants who work for, and against, her wealthy family, the film breathlessly traces the collapse of one political system as it is replaced by another.
New Order premiered and won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, and then went on to screen at Toronto Film Festival and the BFI London Film Festival in 2020. The film has recently been long-listed for a BAFTA in the Best Film Not in English Language category.
We have a new clip for the film where an opulent wedding is interrupted by the sudden arrival of unwanted guests. Check that out below.
