Set in a crumbling, Cold War-era Vienna, Nicolas Roeg's psychological drama Bad Timing utilizes idiomatic cut-up editing to a profoundly unsettling end. Opening with a graphic overdose, the flashback narrative follows a police inspector (Harvey Keitel) who must dig into the devastating details of an affair between a psychiatry professor (Art Garfunkel — seriously) and his student (Theresa Russell). Aided aurally by Tom Waits, the Who, and Billie Holiday, Roeg metes out the gothic tension in edited increments for a scathing yet elusive take on sexual obsession and its tortuous tagalongs, jealousy and guilt.
