Jude Law's part in The Order deals with neo-Nazi terrorism, getting a close to 10-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival for its strong message.
Jude Law made a big comeback at the Venice Film Festival with his role in The Order, a crime movie directed by Justin Kurzel.
The film, which looks into how white supremacy grew in the 1980s in America, got a huge thumbs up from the audience, who clapped it for almost 10 minutes straight.

In The Order, Law is an FBI agent chasing down a dangerous neo-Nazi group that’s been doing a bunch of violent stuff. The movie is based on real-life events and is based on a book from 1989 called The Silent Brotherhood.
Law and Kurzel talked a lot about how the movie is still relevant today, especially with the rise of far-right ideas.
Law said the movie was needed right now, and Kurzel compared the movie’s time period to what’s happening in politics today.
The movie’s debut at Venice was a big deal for Law, who hadn’t been there since 2016. His part in The Order is getting a lot of praise for being a deep and timely look at extremism, and it’s coming out in the U.S. in December.
