  • Very bad movie. Sick people, poorly acted, insane story. Content collapsed.

Though Alex is quite a bit older than Milena, he's attracted to her young, carefree spirit. Despite the fact that Milena is already married, their friendship quickly turns into a deeply passionate love affair that threatens to overtake them both.

  • “‘Young people are only just beginning to read film – they know the grammar, [...] They come from a visual generation, and film is a visual medium. But pretty well everyone over the age of twenty-five, I guess, maybe twenty-eight, is rooted in the literary tradition. I’ve always wanted to get my thoughts over in film visually, without the intermediary of literature. I actively prefer to be in the cinema, but not the cinema of literature, which is like Victorian picture books. Faced with that, I’d rather stay at home and read. Before the whole Gutenberg galaxy thing, storytelling was more intimate, more immediate – like film. Printing con­fined a story within a binding and imposed artificial limits. It made stories into lengths. But before that, in the oral tradi­tion, stories could continue forever. It’s one of the basic concepts of living that stories are one great story of which all stories partake.’

  • I just watched Bad Timing and I was blown away. I think it's an amazing film, perhaps Roeg's best now that I can fully appreciate its visuals on this gorgeous, near-flawless transfer. An profound lesson in erotic Cinema. A very disturbing film, on reflection, with a staggering performance by Theresa Russell and who would have thought that Art Garfunkel could be so clinically creepy? Denholm Elliot - who is always wonderful - gives a very assured performance here; wonderful actor. Keitel's police detective, as Jeremy Thomas observes in his interview, is like a latter-day Dostoyevskian truth-searcher than a typical "cop" type investigator and the final scene between him and Alex shows Keitel at his best and this was at a time when his career was floating a bit. Overall, a unique film that is long overdue for a reappraisal. I think I'll go watch it again.
