Michel Franco’s latest film which topped Mexican box-office during the pandemic is a riveting, suspenseful dystopian drama, a relentless critique of social inequality “essentially picking up where Joker left off,” according to Peter Debruge of Variety. The film opens as a lavish upper-class wedding goes awry in an unexpected uprising of class warfare that gives way to a violent military coup d’état. As seen through the eyes of the young bride, New Order is written, produced, directed, and edited by Michel Franco.

Some scenes depicting sexuality/violence in this film might be disturbing.
