3.0 out of 5 stars Nicholson Domunanat 19 Oct 2008

By Mr. Derek R. Osbourne

Format:DVD

Mike Nichols captivated the cinema world with The Graduate and returned with this film of sexual angst over a twenty year period. Jack Nicholson dominates in his role as the selfish and ultimately self destructive Jonathan but veers towards being over the top in his bullying, self pitying rages. Art Garfunkel, as his friend, plays wonderfully but is overwhelmed by Nicholson's raw energy and emotion.

Candice Bergen never really strikes me as right but Ann-Margret is brilliant as the girl who Nicholson destroys. Worth seeing - of course - worth putting in your top 100 ???????????

5.0 out of 5 stars A bitter sex comedy. 11 Mar 2012

By Thisjohn

Format:DVD

Mike Nichols' bitter black comedy, depicting the sex lives of Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel as representative American males from their virginal days as post-war college room-mates into jaded middle age. Ann-Margret gives an outstanding performance as Jack's seemingly-perfect girlfriend, a depressed former model. The widescreen format is used imaginatively, and the songs featured on the soundtrack evocative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Text book for the failure of the opposite sex. 27 May 2002

By Andrew Dylan Llewellyn

Format:VHS Tape

How long have i been searching for a film that perfectly demonstrates the complexity and the wonder of the male psyche? I am of the opinion that with this film my search came to an end. Mike nichols, best known for the brilliant film "the graduate" performs his duty as director with the same craft and spendour in "Carnal Knowledge". A young Jack Nicholson wonderfully plays a character that we all find ourselves becoming at one point or another, he reminds us all of the raw animalism that exists in all men. This is surely a performance that would be a standout for most actors, but because of his undeniable brilliance, this is one of his lesser known roles. The surpise package in the film comes in Art Garfunkel, a man known for his musical skills, but maintains a strong screen presence and achieves a perfect charecterisation as the sweet but somewhat naive co-lead male role. The effect of the film is clearly demonstrated in the work of Woody Allen, and the philosophy which the film encorporates will stay with the most simple minded of audience.

4.0 out of 5 stars reflective of a time when this was a cutting-edge film

This humorous yet dark film, which was very daring in its day, is by now quite dated though one wonders whether the sexism it portrays isn't still prevalent in Western societies. Read more
