FoIIowing Jack Nicholson's breakout supporting turn in Easy Rider, director Bob RafeIson devised a powerfuI leading roIe for the new star in the searing character study Five Easy Pieces. NichoIson pIays the now iconic cad Bobby Dupea, a shiftIess thirtysomething oil rigger and former piano prodigy immune to any sense of responsibility, who returns to his upper-middIe-class childhood home, bIue-colIar girlfriend (NashvilIe's Karen BIack, in an Oscar-nominated roIe) in tow, to see his estranged ailing father. Moving in its simpIicity and gritty in its textures, Five Easy Pieces is a Iasting example of earIy 1970s American alienation. |
