Bad Timing / Bad Timing: A Sensual Obsession / Просчет во времени: Наваждение чувств / Illusions / Blackout - Anatomie einer Leidenschaft (1980) DVDRip |
|
Подзаголовок картины - "Наваждение чувств" – точно определяет то, что испытывает главный герой, психиатр Алекс Линден, связавший свою судьбу с молодой девушкой Миленой, которая бежала в Вену из Чехословакии. В их отношениях настолько все запутано, переплетено, что не поддается никакому анализу. Как понять, где кончается одержимая любовь и начинается не менее безумная ненависть?. Николас Роуг продолжил свои визуальные эксперименты с человеческим сознанием и непредсказуемыми страстями. В этом фильме Роуг вновь восхищает богатым, щедрым изобразительным рядом и супервиртуозным монтажом. На съемках этой ленты он впервые встретился с чувственной, страстной американкой Терезой Рассел, ставшей его любимой актрисой в 80-е годы, а также и женой, несмотря на существенную разницу в возрасте - 28,5 лет!...
The setting is Vienna. A young American woman is brought to a hospital after overdosing on pills, apparently in a suicide attempt. A police detective suspects foul play on the part of her lover, an American psychology professor. As doctors try to save her life, the detective interrogates the professor, and through flashbacks we see the events leading up to the woman's overdose; her stormy and intensely sexual relationship with the professor, her heavy drinking and numerous affairs, and her estrangement from her Czech husband. A darkly erotic study of several rather unsympathetic characters...

"Наваждение чувств" - это постоянное несовпадение по психическим состояниям, по уровню чувств, прыгающих от холодного раздражения до нестерпимого сексуального влечения, которое хочется немедленно, может, в самой грубой форме, осуществить. Закомплексованный психоаналитик, небось, гордящийся, что практикует на родине Зигмунда Фрейда, все время попадает не в такт, впросак, еще туже завязывая узел неразрешимых взаимоотношений.
When a film is structured like a puzzle, qualities that are merely bewildering can be made to seem mysterious, if only for a while. Nicolas Roeg, who habitually structures his films this way, has again relied on jumbled time sequences, allusive cutting and a wealth of similar techniques to give ''Bad Timing/A Sensual Obsession'' its suggestive, secretive air. But ''Bad Timing,'' unlike Mr. Roeg's ''Performance,'' ''Walkabout,'' ''Don't Look Now'' and ''The Man Who Fell to Earth,'' has a ponderous, trumped-up feeling. It lacks the shimmer of Mr. Roeg's best work. And it manages to seem both weighty and insubstantial.
Certainly ''Bad Timing,'' which opens the ''British Film Now'' series (it will be shown at the Paramount Theater at 5 and 8 P.M. today, and will open at the Sutton tomorrow), has a great deal in common with Mr. Roeg's other films. Once again, he teams a fragilelooking man with a woman of exceptional abandon. Art Garfunkel and Theresa Russell, echoing Mr. Roeg's casting of David Bowie with Candy Clark, Mick Jagger with Anita Pallenberg, and Donald Sutherland with Julie Christie, play Americans who meet in Vienna and become involved in a sexually explicit, but not particularly torrid affair. Though the title refers to the vagaries of their relationship, it could just as easily denote the pattern of the story's exposition. Scrambled flashbacks help complicate this tale, which begins as a tepid romance and ends with a tepid crime.
The problems of ''Bad Timing'' can be traced, in part, to a screenplay that ascribes equal importance to all the incidentals of the love affair; they also stem from Mr. Roeg's confidence in the shaky proposition that these two characters hold a fascination for his audience. Dr. Alex Linden, played by Mr. Garfunkel, and Milena Flaherty, played by Miss Russell, are too often an unremarkable team. Alex, a celebrated professor of psychology, encounters Milena at a party, where she looks drunk and behaves brazenly; this is virtually her constant condition during the course of the film. ''If we're going to meet, it might as well be now,'' she says, blocking the doctor's exit with her leg. ''Why spoil the mystery?'' asks he. With that, they are off and running.
The struggle between Alex and Milena has to do with her desire for secrecy and his desire to know her, and with the contrast between her wantonness and his reserve. As the film begins, Milena has attempted suicide, which would suggest that their effort to bridge their differences has been unsuccessful. (If the suicide attempt doesn't do that, it at least gives Mr. Roeg occasion to cut repeatedly to the operating table, where Milena undergoes a grisly tracheotomy, and to juxtapose her cries of ecstasy with gasps from the operating room.) However, the events that lead her to such a desperate measure have no discernible momentum. The film is so jumbled it lacks a steady rhythm, and the story offers few clear highs or lows.
Mr. Garfunkel does a very creditable job of conveying Alex's reserve, but there is little in his performance to suggest a man in the grip of an obsession. And Miss Russell, who has also made memorable appearances in ''Straight Time'' and ''The Last Tycoon,'' brings to her role a reckless physicality that is both overwhelming and overused. Miss Russell makes gestures that involve her whole body, gestures that are almost frighteningly carefree; she is also capable of making almost any kind of behavior seem lewd. Her performance is hugely effective for a while, but Mr. Roeg allows her to repeat herself, and eventually monotony sets in. She and Mr. Garfunkel are given ample opportunity to connect, but they never manage this. Even in its moments of greatest urgency, their affair remains lukewarm.
Mr. Roeg goes to great lengths to make ''Bad Timing'' as exotic as he can. In a typically strained flourish, Alex and Milena are transported to Morocco, a transition Mr. Roeg accomplishes by letting sand pour out of a hollowed-out stone in Vienna, then cutting to the desert. And Alex is driven to commit a crime of passion, which is meant to be shocking, but hardly seems disturbing at all. The crime is uncovered by a detective, played by Harvey Keitel, whose movements are carefully integrated with Alex's, as if to establish a parallel, a duet, a duel. Like too many aspects of ''Bad Timing,'' this point is elaborately detailed, repeated frequently, and barely of any interest at all.

Bad Timing is not an easy film, but one that rewards effort. Art Garfunkel joins the line (Jagger, Bowie) of singers who produced career best acting performances for this director - the scene of him smoking while staring over a bridge into the abyss of his life is worth buying the dvd alone - and Theresa Russell is simply incendiary. The story is a relatively simple one of how two people who should never have got together become obsessed with each other, but is told in Nicolas Roeg's fluid, labyrinthine style with flashes back and forward and disconcerting edits. The sexual content is extreme for some tastes, but raw and painfully honest in a way which defies simple titillation. Intense work from one of the giants of British and world cinema, now sadly neglected, and one of a string of great films, Performance, Walkabout, Don't Look Now and The Man Who Fell to Earth which mark Nicolas Roeg out as a great director. |
