Theresa Russell Jeweled Top Bad Timing

Theresa Russell seduces Art Garfunkle, of all people, with a bejeweled bodice in Bad Timing.

Theresa Russell Dots in Bad Timing

Dots on her shirt and ears, purple eyeshadow, and a great updo.

Bad Timing is a 1980 film directed by Nicholas Roeg starring Theresa Russell, Art Garfunkle and Harvey Keitel. It’s been called, “a sick film made by sick people for sick people” (by its own UK distributor), but it’s also praised as a forgotten drama about obsession and, for my money, it’s one of the most stylish films around. Criterion recently released it on DVD. Even more inspirational hairdos and accessories after the jump.

    Kudos! I loved this film and thought Milena’s (Theresa Russell’s character) wardrobe was stunning. Thanks for posting these pictures!

    I love cheesy movies! I’ll have to add this to my NetFlix list. Although, when I saw the title and the first still, I thought the 2 main characters had bad timing because it looks like the guy in the room behind them was taking a leak.

    […] say that I will attempt convincing the director to let me dress and style my hair something like Theresa Russell in Bad Timing. Luckily I will not be playing a psychopath, but some similarities otherwise […]
