‘An absolute dream guest’

‘Jude Law is an absolute dream guest’, says Christian Jungen, Artistic Director at the Zurich Film Festival. ‘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.”

Jude Law expresses his excitement about the opportunity to present THE ORDER at the ZFF: ‘Thank you to the Zurich Film Festival for inviting our film THE ORDER to open the festival, it is a privilege to join Justin in presenting this story to audiences, the relevance of which speaks for itself. I am incredibly proud of the film and the entire team; to receive the festival’s Golden Eye Award is an honour.’ Director Justin Kurzel is also looking forward to opening the ZFF with his latest production: ‘I could not be more excited for THE ORDER to open such a prestigious festival. It is a great honor.’

Award ceremony and Gala-Premiere

Justin Kurzel and Jude Law will present the film THE ORDER as a Gala Premiere on Thursday, October 3, kicking off the ZFF. AGC Studios’ THE ORDER is undoubtedly another highlight in both their impressive careers.
