Following Jack NichoIson's breakout supporting turn in Easy Rider, director Bob Rafelson devised a powerful 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 chiIdhood home, bIue-coIIar girIfriend (NashviIle's Karen BIack, 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. |
