in previous films, you’ll do alright... CARNAL KNOWLEDGE sets itself 
up as a nostalgic just-came-of-age tale but quickly changes decades and storylines
later, and, most important, sexual relationships, beginning with University 
boys Jack and his best friend Sandy — played with a natural screen 
presence by Art Garfunkel— both dating the same prized Ivy League girl, 
Candace Bergen… Jack having moved in carnally without Art's knowledge…

</tbody></table>The cinematic equivalent of a girl that's just no good or a "no good dame" is usually one who's simply too good to be true. And when a loose, liberal young lady from America — in the usually idyllic dreamland of Vienna — hooks up with a loose yet intellectual American professor who thinks he's more liberal-minded than he actually is, things go from... well in this case, worse to better to pretty bad to pretty good to downright awful... for her, that is... 
 
Initially taking place at a hospital emergency room where Theresa Russell's Milena is being kept alive by desperate surgeons, BAD TIMING consists of flashbacks concerning her doomed romance with leading man Art Garfunkel as Alex. The most intriguing aspect of Nicolas Roeg's comparably obscure motion picture is how a dying Milena is edited into sporadic bouts of love-making, laughter, arguments, more love-making, tantrums, aspersions, more tantrums, wandering through Vienna and even a quick road trip along desert terrain, like where the late auteur shaped his future assisting David Lean on a little excursion titled LAWRENCE OF ARABIA before carving-out his own desolate territory for WALKABOUT...
