[News] Neon Releases the Official Trailer and Poster for Dystopian Class Thriller New Order

Neon has released a trailer for Michel Franco’s upcoming dystopian class thriller New Order. The film will hit theaters on May 21st.

Conceived six years ago, Michel Franco’s near-future dystopia feels ripped from headlines that haven’t yet been written. While protests rage in the streets, Marianne’s high society family prepares for her wedding. At first, only splatters of green paint and the appearance of Rolando, a former employee seeking emergency medical funds, intrude on the festivities. But soon the party is unable to keep the reckoning at bay, and what follows is a swift disintegration of law and order defined first by class lines,then by disastrous government recapitulation.

Writer/Director Michel Franco was born in Mexico City in 1979 and has put Mexican cinema in the global spotlight. The films he has written, directed and produced include CHRONIC (Best Screenplay Award at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival), LAS HIJAS DE ABRIL (Jury Prize,in Certain Regard at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival), and DESPUÉS DE LUCÍA (Top Prize, in Certain Regard at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival).
