NEON is one of the most compelling distributors of our day. A few days back they dropped a trailer for what looks to be another fascinating part of their catalog. “New Order” is the latest film from visionary writer-director Michael Franco. This dystopian thriller looks to have a biting relevance and an unflinchingly brutal perspective on class, civil unrest, and government power. The film premiered at the 2020 Venice Film Frstival. Now it’s on its way to American theaters courtesy of NEON.
The film sets itself in Mexico in the not-to-distant future. In the early scenes we see a lavish high-society wedding suddenly interrupted by armed rioters. The invaders are part of a violent uprising of the oppressed lower class who overrun the city. Meanwhile the government sees the chaos as an opportunity to overpower the populace and put in place a military-ran dictatorship. Obviously Franco lays some heavy topics on the table and it will be interesting to see how far he goes with it.
“New Order” opens in select theaters May 21st. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Clicking on the video only gave me a “This video has been removed by the uploader” message. Here’s a better link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxrdSLce5ps&ab_channel=NEON
Thanks for the heads up.
The y as been milking and milking this thing for years and years. WCW and WWE on that Monday Nitro. They needs to get some new material for them Rasslers.
No, they’re…. sports entertainers. Superstars in the Meekmahan-land universe.
Who?
Vince McMahon but I know choose to call him MEEKMAHAN in the Broken language created by… BROKEN MATT HARDY who has now become MONEY MATT HARDY who runs the Hardy Family House featuring the Butcher, the Blade, the Bunny, and Private Party which you can watch every Wednesday on TNT on AEW Dynamite or on YouTube on AEW Dark Elevation on Monday and AEW Dark on Tuesday. Don’t waste your time with that sports entertainment bullshit! Watch pro wrestling!
I’ll be honest, neither WWE or AEW excites me much. I like a handful of wrestlers from each but not enough to stick with their shows. I’m from a different era of wrestling and can’t quite get into what they’re doing now.
What about NWA and New Japan?
Naaa. Thought about it, but I’ve got sooo many other things eating up my watch schedule!
Ah… I understand. I just stick to AEW and New Japan if I have the time. I want to support NWA but I’m not willing to pay money to watch them on Fite TV. I want them on a real network. Anything to put Meekmahan-land out of business.
I was wondering where NWA was being shown.
My initial instinct is to pass – even though they keep offering me a screener.. I rarely read reviews of films before I see them, but I think I would have to hear a word of mouth before I dive in. what about you Keither?? (you didn’t think I forgot that nickname did you?) 🙂

Keither?? 😊 if this comes over the pond it’ll go on the watch list.
Hopefully it will! I’m really anxious for it.
OK, back to film world…. Puta madre. I would totally want to see this!
