Review of Carnal Knowledge (1971) by Pierluigi P — 28 Apr 2012

Incredibly and despicably cynic, and also quite true, because that's exactly how we talk about the opposite sex, one of us is either Nicholson or Garfunkel, but by the end both are two sides of the same coin in an aimless search for settling down with a saint in society/whore in bed type of so called "perfect" female companion, The tone is fascinating, directing and acting-wise, Nichols' mise en scene borrows heavily from Italian psychosexual dramas and french nouvelle vague.

A great approach, attack, pulverization and then rebuilding of a man's ego.
