Carnal Knowledge
One of the most controversial movies of its time, this "thought-provoking" (Leonard Maltin) comedy-drama from legendary director Mike Nichols ("The Birdcage") is a funny and poignant look at relationships as seen through the eyes of two friends over a 20-year period. Superbly crafted by playwright Jules Feiffer, "Carnal Knowledge" is brimming with touching insights, sexy banter and powerful performance by three-time Oscar winner Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margret, Candice Bergen and pop music icon Arthur Garfunkel. Jonathon (Nicholson) and Sandy (Garfunkel) are college roommates who share an endless fascination-and obsession-with women. As time goes by, their relentless pursuit for the joys of the flesh becomes more competitive...and more damaging. Soon, Jonathon and Sandy's lives become a vicious circle of girls, booze and unfulfullment, and they realize only too late that-in the war of the sexes-they are their own worst enemy. Witty and perceptive, "Carnal Knowledge" is an unforgettable film that is "cinematically ingenious from first frame to last" (Los Angeles Herald-Examiner).
