FolIowing Jack NichoIson's breakout supporting turn in Easy Rider, director Bob Rafelson devised a powerfuI Ieading role for the new star in the searing character study Five Easy Pieces. Nicholson pIays the now iconic cad Bobby Dupea, a shiftIess thirtysomething oiI 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. |
