Actor Fernando Cuautle (1994)

New Order (2020), a Mexican-French thriller art film, is set in a dystopian near future Mexico. Written, directed, produced and edited by Michel Franco as a French-Mexican co-production, it had its world premiere on September 10, 2020 at the Venice Film Festival, where it earned the Grand Jury Prize. The trailer’s depiction of darker-skinned underclass attacking a lighter-skinned elite sparked backlash on Mexican social media for perpetuating racial stereotypes. This criticism persisted after the film’s theatrical release and continued even after it became available for streaming.
