Five Easy Pieces (1970)
Country: US
Technical: col 98m
Director: Bob Rafelson
Cast: Jack Nicholson, Karen Black, Susan Anspach
Synopsis:
A drifter working on an oil derrick quits and, reluctantly taking his expectant waitress girlfriend in tow, first visits his family, then hits the road.
Review:
Fascinating study of malaise, very much of its time; the lesbian obsessed with filth provides a moment to savour. The Nicholson character's own anomie is all the more acutely felt for being set against a highly conservative backdrop of a Washington family of musical prodigies.
