Bad Timing with Bridey Elliott

Writer, director and actor Bridey Elliott (Clara's Ghost) joins to discuss Nicolas Roeg's dark psychological drama BAD TIMING starring Theresa Russell, Art Garfunkel, and Harvey Keitel. The film uses a non-linear structure to portray a tumultuous love affair between a free spirited young woman and a psychiatrist living in Vienna. Receiving an extremely limited release in 1980, Roeg's lush and complex film didn't  gain notoriety until repeat airings on the Z Channel cable station and, much later, a 2005 Criterion disc release. Listen in on Mama Needs a Movie's sensual obsession with this cult classic, along with sexy diversions into Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, The Exorcist, the 1994 Northridge earthquake, manic pixie dream girls, Serpico, Starbucks, Gene Hackman, Mighty Joe Young, and much, much more!  BAD TIMING is available to stream with subscription on The Criterion Channel.
