Neon has released a first trailer for Michael Franco’s dystopian movie New Order, which arrives in the US on May 21.

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.

The official selection for the Toronto International Film Festival as well as the grand prize jury winner at the Venice Film Festival in 2020 and the AFI Official Selection for 2020, New Order stars Naian González Norvind, Diego Boneta, Samantha Yazareth Anaya, Dario Yazbek Bernal, and Patricia Bernal.
