Bad Timing
Nic Roeg's complex, elusive cult classic is a Vienna-set tale of all consuming passion, starring Art Garfunkel, Theresa Russell and Harvey Keitel.
Director: Nicolas Roeg
Overview
Seen in flashback through the prism of a woman's attempted suicide, this fragmented portrait of a love affair expands into a labyrinthine enquiry into memory and guilt, as her cold-hearted psychoanalyst partner himself falls victim to an even cooler and crueller investigation by the detective assigned to the case. One of director Nic Roeg's finest films, starring Art Garfunkel, Theresa Russell and Harvey Keitel.
