New Order Movie Storyline. In this riveting, suspenseful dystopian drama, a lavish upper-class wedding goes awry in an unexpected uprising of class warfare that gives way to a violent coup d’etat. As seen through the eyes of the sympathetic young bride and the servants who work for- and against- her wealthy family, Nuevo Orden breathlessly traces the collapse of one political system as a more harrowing replacement springs up in its wake.
New Order (Spanish: Nuevo orden) is a 2020 Mexican-French art film thriller. It takes place in a dystopian near future. It was written, directed, produced and edited by Michel Franco. The film had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 10, 2020, before having its Mexican release on October 22, 2020.
The film was met with negative reviews by both critics and audiences worldwide, particularly for the way it portrays social tensions between upper and lower classes in Mexico as a darker-skinned underclass attack against a lighter-skinned elite. Despite the previously mentioned, New Order won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Award at the Venice Film Festival.
director’s Statement
Nuevo Orden is a dystopian view of Mexico, but it is only slightly off from reality. Social and economic disparity are currently becoming widespread and unsustainable. It is not the first time this country and the world have faced a similar scenario and corrupt governments have historically responded to all protest with dictatorial violence. This film is a warning: if inequality is not addressed by civic means, and if all dissenting voices are silenced, chaos ensues.
