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 Bad Timing is a classic example of more is less. The title of the movie clearly implies that the love tragedy of the hero and heroine stems from the wrong timing and inconsistent pace between the two. However, in the equally fragmented Don't Look Now, this layer of time-space relationship can be found in the male and female protagonists. But if you look at the psychological relationship between the two in this film, time doesn't play a role, it's the narrator who makes trouble on the discours level. This psychological wrestling between men and women is overly fragmented, but it loses its poetic sense of authenticity. Another theme of the film is "spy", a man is peeping at a woman's mind, while the detective is investigating the relationship between the two. In this way, the detective is the guide who leads the audience into the narrative body, and the important role that highlights the "voyeuristic" relationship between the film and the characters. Unfortunately, his role was also overly marginalized.

    Klimt’s secessionist works directly point out the theme of the movie "Sex and Death". Under the cover of fate, a woman gradually goes to destruction. She is possessed by desire and killed by desire. Scenes of surgery and sex. The montage of, the cross-editing of different times in the same space, Roig unveiled the last suspense of the film with the sweetness of love and memories. The greedy possessiveness is lost in the love game of chasing and rejection.
