New Arrival Carnal Knowledge (4K UHD, #1270)

Amid the sexual revolution and social upheaval of the early 1970s, acclaimed director Mike Nichols delivered a zeitgeist-defining examination of American mores. Sharply written by Jules Feiffer, this acerbic drama flashes through more than twenty years in the lives of two college buddies (Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel) whose casual chauvinism is all fun and gamesuntil its not. As the women who suffer and see through the friends insecure posturing, Candice Bergen, Ann-Margret, Rita Moreno, Carol Kane, and Cynthia ONeal form an extraordinary ensemble that gives the film its soul. So controversial it became embroiled in an obscenity case that went all the way to the Supreme Court,Carnal Knowledgeremains startling for its unnervingly frank look at postwar masculinity.
