Mike Nichols’ provocative dark comedy traces the lives of college roommates Johnathan (Jack Nicholson) and Sandy (Art Garfunkel) as they navigate relationships from the 1940s into the 60s. From idealistic romances to toxic love affairs, the film charts their diverging paths – Johnathan’s descent into misogyny and Sandy’s quiet disillusionment – in a stark study of sex and self-deception.
