Bad Timing

Few of Roeg's films have been missing in action since their release.
This was one. In addition to reworking his materials about obsessive
love and miscommunication, this film re-works consiousness and how
one recalls events more effectively than any of his other works.
Does that mean it's one of his best films? Probably not, just
because of the immaturity of the protagonists. But from a narrative
perspective, it might be his most perfect film.
