contents We prove that a three-dimensional smooth complete intersection of two quadrics over a field k is k-rational if and only if it contains a line defined over k. To do so, we develop a theory of intermediate Jacobians for geometrically rational threefolds over arbitrary, not necessarily perfect, fields. As a consequence, we obtain the first examples of smooth projective varieties over a field k which have a k-point, and are rational over a purely inseparable field extension of k, but not over k.
