CGiii Comment
Lommell's first American film, produced by Warhol (who makes a brief and tired appearance) - with these credentials - a flop is on the cards - you will not be disappointed...
Punk was British, it traveled across the Atlantic where it became sterilised, sanitised and stale - just like this film.
Who the hell is Richard Hell? Not a name deserving of a film - the acting, by everyone, is banal and flat - as a project, a complete waste of time.

The(ir) Blurb...
Nada, a beautiful French journalist on assignment in New York, records the life and work of an up and coming punk rock star, Billy. Soon she enters into a volatile relationship with him and must decide whether to continue with it, or return to her lover, a fellow journalist trying to track down the elusive Andy Warhol.
