New Order (Template:Lang-es) is a 2020 Mexican-French art dystopian thriller[2] film written, directed, produced and edited by Michel Franco. The film follows an upper class couple in Mexico City whose wedding is invaded by rioters amidst a nationwide working class uprising[3]. The film stars Naian Gonzalez Norvind, Diego Boneta and Mónica Del Carmen.

The film had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 10, 2020, where it won the Grand Jury Prize.[4] Prior to its release in Mexican cinemas, the film's trailer was received with an overwhelming negative response from the public and internet backlash as it was called by Mexican audiences on social media as "Classist, racist and painfully stereotypical portraits of upper and lower classes in Mexico"[5][6].
