Our take

Mexican cinema’s foremost provocateur Michel Franco lobs a bomb of dystopian chaos and outrage into cinemas this week with his Venice Silver Lion-winning thriller. An electrifying tempest of working-class revolution with a sting in its tail, New Order is a political allegory of apocalyptic potency.
