Five Easy Pieces
Five Easy Pieces
Lyrical picaresque adventures of a contemporary American drifter. Five Easy Pieces is a product of the rash of American "self-conscious" films that developed in the early 70's. Its relative success may be due to the more thoughtful and coherent approach it criticises American myths. More likely, it is Jack Nicholson's brilliant performance as the drifter, who must confront his rootlessness and his desire for freedom. Bob Rafelson directs.
