Full US Trailer for Switzerland's Oscar Submission 'The Divine Order'

Written by

“I am in favour of women’s right to vote.” Zeitgeist Films has unveiled an official US trailer for the highly acclaimed Swiss film The Divine Order, also known as Die Göttliche Ordnung in German. This film has been selected by Switzerland as their official entry into the Academy Awards this year. The Divine Order tells the story of women’s voting rights in Switzerland, which were granted only a few years ago, in 1971. The story follows an “unassuming and dutiful housewife” who begins a suffragette movement in her small, peaceful town. She convinces the local women to go on strike and eventually begins an uprising that changes the entire country. Starring Marie Leuenberger, Maximilian Simonischek, Rachel Braunschweig, Sibylle Brunner, Marta Zoffoli, and Bettina Stucky. This looks like a fantastic film filled with great performances. I’ve been looking forward to seeing it ever since first hearing about it earlier this year. Enjoy. ›››
