Review of Carnal Knowledge (1971) by Conner R — 19 Apr 2011
This is everything Mike Nichols was trying to say with his adaptation of The Graduate, but couldnâ(TM)t. This takes the idea of love, relationships and friendship and tears it apart. Jack Nicholsonâ(TM)s performance is so powerful that the rest of the movie could have been terrible and it still wouldâ(TM)ve been worth seeing for him.
Turns out, it happens to be an all around excellent movie. Garfunkel can actually act and both Ann Margret and Candice Bergen give extremely strong supporting performances. I like how this makes time shifts in order to show how much energy is put into affection and being happy with someone, even if itâ(TM)s just out of spite or curiosity.
