After watching 2004’s “Closer,” directed by Mike Nichols, I found it impossible not to recap a career highlight for his directing. In 1971, “Carnal Knowledge,” starring a young, chauvinistic Jack Nicholson and a sensitive Art Garfunkel of the acoustic duo, shattered sexual mores of the time and made a great (though shocking) movie in the process. Serving as a cross-section for modern America’s disenchanted men, each carefully constructed scene and plot line of the movie creates lasting images and ideas that jump from the movie to real, personal life. All the problems of premarital sex, depressed women, men who never grow up, and the like, are summed up in this racy but not raunchy film about genders never coming to grips with each other – like a Woody Allen film gone wrong, sleek, or dark.
