Description

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, 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 performances by three-time Oscar winner* Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margaret, Candice Bergen and pop music icon Arthur Garfunkel. Jonathan (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, Jonathan and Sandy’s lives become a vicious circle of girls, booze and unfulfillment, and they realize only too late that in the war of the sexes they are their own worst enemy. *1997: Actor, As Good As It Gets; 1983: Supporting Actor, Terms of Endearment; 1975: Actor, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.
