Year: 1980
Country:
Great Britain
Run Time:
122 minutes
No one else tells a story the way Nicolas Roeg does, offering only tantalizing glimpses of a conventional narrative; chopping his story into glittering, kaleidoscope fragments. In BAD TIMING, his fifth film, these fragments center upon passion: physical, psychological, all encompassing. An American psychoanalyst in Vienna is intrigued by a young American woman he meets at a party. A mutual interest ensues and develops into a destructive force which threatens them both. Roeg draws the spectator - baffled, repelled, fascinated - into murky, subconscious depths where love and hate are hard to tell apart. Art Garfunkel and Theresa Russell provide strong characterizations for this film, which wwon the audience award at the 1980 Toronto International Film Festival. Roeg's other films include "Performance" (1970), "Walkabout" (1971), "Don't Look Now" (1973) and "The Man Who Fell to Earth" (1976).
