...Nico Diederichs, the 71-year-old financial expert who is credited with boosting South Africa's growth rate in recent years, is among the most ardent advocates of the National Party's hard-line white supremacy policy...
...furor was provoked by two unrelated acts of violence that occurred last month. In the first, a 22-year-old neo-Fascist named Nico Azzi tried to blow up a crowded Turin-to-Rome train by planting a sizable charge of TNT in a washroom. Fortunately for the 500 passengers, the detonator Azzi was wiring exploded when the train suddenly lurched. Bleeding heavily, Azzi was placed under arrest and taken to a hospital. Police later revealed that he was a member of the extreme neo-Fascist Ordine Nuovo (New Order). Although he had no proven connection with M.S.I., Azzi...

But Director Nico Papatakis and Scenarist Jean Vauthier twist this black theme into a cinema of absurdity that falls somewhere between the Marx Brothers and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? In its liveliest moments, Les Abysses is unwittingly hilarious, an amateur Grand Guignol about a pair of sleazy, sullen chambermaids running amuck in Bedlam. When they are not dancing or screaming, they stab the furniture with hatpins, chip the plaster, bring in termites, pulverize the best china, wallop their mistress...
