A commentary by critic Riccardo Brunello, in the publication Moviemag, refers that ¨The Order¨, deals with the confrontation of actions, in the US state of Idaho, of a white supremacist group to finance a coup d’état, something that recalls the assault in January 2021 to the Capitol by followers of former President Donald Trump.
It is “a warning for the years to come,” Brunello says in relation to the plot of this film, directed by the Australian Justin Kurzel and starring the British Jude Law, in the role of a federal policeman who in the remote town of Coeur d’Alene conducted the investigation of these events that occurred between 1983 and 1984.
Based on the book ¨The Silent Brotherhood¨, by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt, the film’s main objective is to unmask collective violence and the danger of an ideology that “can become a brutal practice”, since extreme right-wing currents represent a worldwide threat.
Meanwhile, in an article published in the newspaper La Stampa, film expert Francesco Boille describes as “splendid” the feature film I’m still here, by Brazilian director Walter Salles, which reflects the years of the military dictatorship that governed that South American nation from 1964 to 1985.
