Movie Reviews of Carnal Knowledge
Movie Review: very intelligent film
Summary: 4 Stars
I had to watch this one again to fully appreciate what a deep misogynist this guy is. The script is very complicated but is loaded with plenty of dry humor. All of the cast members are brilliant and who knew Candice Bergen was once so hot.Movie Review: "You Can't Have Me, I Already Have Me" ~' '70's Narcissism At Its Zenith
Summary: 3 Stars
'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 nihilism at its zenith. The film does deliver strong performances , but the subject matter and the spiraling negativism is a little hard to endure. One of the main draws of this movie is Ann-Margret who looks fantastic, it's worth a viewing just for her.
Movie Review: Strong elements go nowhere
Summary: 3 Stars
Because I admire both Nichols and Feiffer, I wanted to like this film. And there are many things I did like--it's witty dialogue, authentic performances and progressive, adult treatment of sexuality. It's fatal flaw is that the characters aren't well-developed; no person in this film demonstrates any notable emotional trajectory. Ultimately, the creepy awareness sets in that you've been held hostage to an intellectual exercise, built on cliches. Feiffer wrote a stage play based on an obvious premise, and Nichols rendered it cinematic with heavy-handed framing devices. I guess the continued viability of the film hinges on how long people are titillated by the word, "carnal."Movie Review: Too melodramatic
Summary: 3 Stars
I always enjoy Jack Nicholson and Ann-Margret movies. However, their lack of experience really showed in this flick. I don't remember ever looking at women in the same perspective as Nicholson and his partner did. I also don't remember women being so outspoken on matters of romance and marriage as did the two in this movie.
The acting was too dry and the mood was a little too melodramatic. However, the chauvinism was certainly reflected for the day.
I would recommend it only if you enjoy seeing Ann-Margret in the buff. But what man wouldn't?
Movie Review: prepies growing up
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was the playboy sex film of the late 60's early 70's about the flower children and sex revolution, etc. I near made it to the theater to see it.
The result isn't as good as they said it was, but the acting was pretty good and the script was well written about two friends sharing their secrets.
It presents a somewhat pessimistic look at aging in the post war generation.
