Seeing this for the first time last night

Seeing this for the first time last night, I liked the dark comedy and satire here. Alan Arkin does a great job directing his actors. The movie can be a tonal mess but I love its audacity and boldness.

The Jules Feifer masterpiece of 1971 was "Carnal

The Jules Feifer masterpiece of 1971 was "Carnal Knowledge", directed by Mike Nichols, with Jack Nicholson, Art Garfunkel, Candice Bergen, Ann Margaret, Rita Moreno and Carol Kane. Not this movie. '71 was a transitional year for American movies - possibly the weakest of the 70s due to the generation gap and Hollywood not knowing what to do with itself. Elliot Gould is not my favorite actor, full disclosure, but I certainly have liked him in other movies (California Split, MASH, etc). This character was typical of ' 71. Some good over the top performances but, like "Dollars" later that year (and lots of others), it stylistically doesn't know what it wants to be. I never loved "A New Leaf" as much as other people, but I rank that higher than "Little Murders". But those two are in the ballpark. "Where's Poppa" from the year before. I find these three movies very dated, very '70/'71. "Carnal Knowledge" however is a transcendent masterpiece of cinema, acting and writing, one of the very best of the 70s/ever.

I love dark comedy. The specifics of dark

I love dark comedy. The specifics of dark comedy's style take a story from being a simple amusement to being something you're participating in. This film does that in spades. I have NO IDEA why I'd never heard of it until it popped up on The Criterion Channel. This is the most Buñuel film made by American filmmakers I've ever seen - and I'm a big Buñuel fan. Highly recommended.
