Bad Timing

Nicolas Roeg / GB, 1980 / 123 min.

Seldom screened these days, the classic Bad Timing – Nicolas Roeg’s unflinching dissection of a doomed romantic relationship in 1979 Vienna – is regarded as one of his most complex, virtuoso achievements. With lead roles for Art Garfunkel, Theresa Russell and Harvey Keitel.

poster Bad Timing (Nicolas Roeg, GB 1980)
The all-consuming passion felt by American psychiatrist Alex (Garfunkel) for his free-spirited, capricious patient Milena (Russell) seems bound to end in drama. When Milena winds up in hospital, inspector Netusi (Keitel) investigates – in a pretty dogged, unorthodox manner.
