Synopsis
Psychiatrist Alex (Art Garfunkel) becomes sexually obsessed with Milena (Theresa Russell), a woman whom he meets at a party. The pair become involved in an intense and mutually destructive love affair. The drama unfolds in a series of flashbacks, as Alex tells his story to police Inspector Netusil (Harvey Keitel) who is investigating Milena's apparent suicide attempt. Alex's obsession grows, but Milena stays slightly out of reach. Originally rated X, but somewhat toned down to accommodate an R rating, Bad Timing: A Sensual Obsession is an interesting exploration of the nature of sexual passion and jealousy. ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide

This movie was definitely a showcase for Theresa Russell and her different hairstyles, not to mention her acting talents. My main problem was with the selection of Art Garfunkel to play the main male lead. His lack of acting was so evident in most scenes. My alternatives for his role would be any of the following: Peter Fonda; David Bowie; Harrison Ford; Mick Jagger; Tom Skerritt; Mark Hamill. I liked the idea of showing the whole story in flashbacks and the music blended very well. I was expecting something much worse and more erotic because that was how it was depicted when it was originally released.
