nada be the most inadequate follow up to le noces rouge which and with hindsight and appear now a the last good movie of chabrol golden era ( 1967 1973 ) nada be chabrol first real attempt at a wholly political movie while it previous work le noces rouge have also political element but it be more a psychological thriller with the usual look at society in french province . nada include terrorist and ambassador and hostage taking and a lot of blood and not really chabrol field . a heterogeneous cast give the movie the coup de grâce representonly duchaussoy and who have already play with the director and and maurice garrel be up to scratch . viviane romance and one of duvivier actress ( la belle equipe panique ) and be waste a a madam ( gabrielle ) . italian actor ( fabio testi and lou castel ) be awful . with nada this a second period of barren inspiration for chabrol . it would be violette nozières before he be again at the top of his game .
