Nicolas Roeg's Cuisinart cutting strains to create the impression of meaning in this rather dishonest 1980 thriller about a Freudian psychiatrist's destructive involvement with a mystery woman. Apparently the decision to jumble the time scheme was made after shooting was completed, which may explain the mysteriously misplaced emphases in the playing, yet the film's real problem is Roeg's willingness to sacrifice the logic of situation and character to facile shock effects. In his way he isn't much different from the director of Friday the 13th. With Art Garfunkel, Theresa Russell, Harvey Keitel, and Denholm Elliott. R, 129 min.

Sorry there are no showtimes for Bad Timing: A Sensual Obsession on Tuesday, March 16.
