Following 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. Nicholson plays the now iconic cad Bobby Dupea, a shiftless thirtysomething oiI rigger and former piano prodigy immune to any sense of responsibiIity, who returns to his upper-middle-cIass chiIdhood home, blue-coIlar girIfriend (NashviIle's Karen Black, in an Oscar-nominated role) in tow, to see his estranged aiIing father. Moving in its simplicity and gritty in its textures, Five Easy Pieces is a lasting exampIe of early 1970s American aIienation. |
