Line 10: Eventually the timeline of the movie jumps to events after the interrogation, as the detective continues his investigation, which leads him down some interesting paths that involve Milena's estranged husband and secret government operations. But all that isn't really the point. The real focus of the movie is of the obsession and instability that governs the two lover's tryst, and the dark side to the lust that fuels it. Be prepared for [[Psycho Ex -Girlfriend\|plenty of histrionic screaming fits]] and [[Destructive Romance\|uncomfortable sex scenes.]] ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''Bad Timing'' provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Anachronic Order]]: The story is presented entirely out of order, starting with a scene from the middle of the relationship playing under the title credits, jumping to Milena's entry to the hospital at the end of the relationship, and continuing like that for the rest of the film, shuffling the events of the timeline like a deck of cards. * [[Conviction Byby Contradiction]]: Played with. Inspector Netusil definitely tries to use a couple of these (the station left on in Alex's car radio at the time he picked up Milena, his choice brand of cigarettes found in her apartment) to indict Alex. But Alex calls him out on it: {{quote\| '''Netusil''': (After momentarily losing the thread of his line of questioning) Where was I?~~<br />~~ '''Alex''': Making incorrect assumptions. }} * [[Destructive Romance]] Line 24: * [[Not So Different]]: Inspector Netusil uses this tact to try and coax a confession out of Alex. * [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping]]: Keitel's Inspector Netusil is an Austrian who occasionally speaks with a thick Brooklyn accent. * [[Sir Swearsalot\|Princess Swears A Lot]]: Milena. [[Cluster F -Bomb\|Cluster F Bombs abound in her dialog]]. * [[Ramping Shot]]: A surprising amount for this sort of drama. * [[Rape Asas Drama]]: The twisted nature of the relationship arrives at its logical extreme at the end of the film when we see {{spoiler\|Alex rape a drugged-up Milena before calling the paramedics to save her life.}} * [[Yandere]]: Milena increasingly embodies this over the course of the movie.
