One of the most controversial movies of its time, this "thought-provoking" (Leonard Malden) 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 playwrights Jules Feiffer,
Carnal Knowledge is brimming with touching insights, sexy banter
and powerful performances by three-time Oscar® winner Jack
Nicholson, Ann-Margret, Candice Bergen and pop music icon Arthur
Garfunkel.
Jonathan (Nicholson) and Sandy (Garfunekl) 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.
