Set in the elegant, politically-charged atmosphere of Soviet-era Vienna, this controversial erotic thriller follows two American expatriates on a provocative journey of sexual obsession. Condemned as “sick” by its distributors, and blocked from release for twenty years, Bad Timing stands as an essential cinematic masterwork from British filmmaking firebrand Nicholas Roeg (Performance, Don’t Look Now).

The story of an erotic entanglement between psychoanalyst and voyeur, Dr. Alex Linden (Art Garfunkel), and the beautiful, dissolute Milena Flaherty (Theresa Russell), the relationship is deconstructed through the intervention of Inspector Netusil (Harvey Keitel), assigned to untangle the sordid affair when Milena is hospitalised in suspicious circumstances. Acclaimed for its innovative, neo-noir cinematography, non-linear narrative, and featuring a classic score (Tom Waits, the Who, Billie Holiday), Bad Timing is a dark, disturbing journey into raw sensuality.
