Rating:  - "Sandy, do you wanna get laid?"
"Carnal Knowledge" (1971) directed by Mike Nichols with Jack Nicholson, Art Garfunkel, Candice Bergen, Ann-Margret in an Oscar nominated performance as a sex kitten who wants to marry Nicholson's Jonathan, and Carol Kane and Rita Moreno in the small roles is one of the movies that made 70s so memorable. It is also the movie that keeps reminding me why I love Jack Nicholson of his early years and how grand he was without his "Jackness" which he has developed during all these years. Sandy (Garfunkel) ... Read More
Rating: - Seinfeld - 1971
I rented this and was pleasantly shocked. A very mature movie with genuinely great dialogue. The banter and over analysis by each character truly is Seinfeldian and I'm sure YEARS ahead of its time. The use of the camera is also delectible; often you will hear conversations by characters off screen while the camera is focused on someone merely "listening". Often a character will be looking straight at the camera (YOU) while they are speaking to another making you feel like you are more connected to the movie. ... Read More

'Carnal Knowledge' released in '71 tells the story of two friends obsessed with themselves and their personal sexual fantasies and desires.
Jonathan (Jack Nickelson) has no problem getting the ladies into bed, his problem is communicating verbally with them after the great event. Ao the other hand Sandy (Art Garfunkel) is an accomplished communicator but is unable to make the transition from friend to sex partner with his girlfriend Susan (Candice Bergen).
This is narcissism and '70's ... Read More
Rating:  - One of the top 10 of all time
This was a ground breaking movie for 1971. THey not only talked about sex, but you saw ann margaret topless. But thats only a minor issue. You become immersed thinking you are there for the 98 minutes. It moves along at a fast pace and the acting, oh the acting. Nicholson is at his classic best. He mesmerizes and garfunkel acts like he has been acting for 30 years. amazing. its not a comedy. why others say it is baffles me. its a rather dark look at two people, one never happy who treats relationships like gutter ...

Rating: - Brilliantly Funny but Sad Look at 70's Sex
The comedy isn't broad enough to make repeat viewings of CARNAL KNOWLEDGE very much fun, the characters are too riddled with the flaws and twisted desires of genuine people to make them great personalities, and the dysfunction of the relationships hardly gets any "rooting interest" going for anyone--but this movie still feels funny and real over thirty-some years later.
The performances are great, the writing extremely sharp. Jack Nicholson's selfish hedonistic heel is hilarious and his pointy eyebrows ... Read More
