Jude Law in The Order
In the film, Jude Law plays a FBI agent who dismantles a far-right terrorist cell. The film gained its buzz afterits world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and the North American debut at Toronto.
Making the big announcement, Zurich Film Festival Artistic Director Christian Jungen said, “Jude Law is an absolute dream guest. He is not only the leading actor in the thriller The Order, which he carries from A to Z with his charisma, but also the producer.”
“Although the film is set in 1983, it revolves around the machinations of right-wing extremist circles in the USA and is therefore highly topical. On the Opening Night, we will be awarding Jude Law a Golden Eye for his career and the great performance in this film – the perfect prelude to a glamorous and significant anniversary edition,” he added.
