Notes on "Sexual Coma Bad Timing"

Anti-plot, non-linear time.

A psychoanalyst met a woman while on vacation in Austria. The first third of the film seems to show some scenes from the beginning of this affair, but some flash-in shots jump to the middle and late stages of the relationship. The middle third of the film is scattered with scenes that we take for granted that they should come from the mid-term, but interspersed with flashbacks to the early stage and flashes to the later stage. The last third are mainly scenes that seem to come from the last days of this pair of men and women, but are interspersed with flashbacks to the middle and beginning. The film ends with an act of necrophilia.

Bad Timing is a modern interpretation of the ancient concept of "character is destiny". The idea is that your destiny is equal to who you are, and the final result of your life will depend on your unique character, not on anything else—not family, society, environment, or opportunity. Bad Timing stirs time like a salad, and its anti-structural design cuts the connection between the character and the world around him. Whether they went to Salzburg on one weekend and Vienna on another weekend, whether they had lunch or dinner there, it made no difference whether they were arguing about this or that or not. The important thing is the poisonous magic in their personality. From the moment the couple met, they boarded a high-speed train leading to their bizarre destiny.

    Roeg’s films are so experimental, because he never stops exploring the possibilities of editing in his works, and he never wants to be bound by the rules of time and space in traditional movies. Although this non-linear narrative movie has chaotic moments, But the overall context is still clear, and the sexual impulse and desire for control of the hero and heroine are torn apart in the time and space of the three visuals. After reading it, I discovered how young Nolan loves Roeg.

    Roeg's iconic fragmented editing: jump cut - cross cut - subconscious editing point. The emotionally driven plot of the characters combines the jealousy and possessiveness caused by the entire romantic relationship of the hero and heroine.
