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.

The Sting

Both Paul Newman and Robert Redford are in fine form when they reunite in Chicago '36 to pull off a gigantic con trick in order to "take" a paranoid racketeer (Robert Shaw). The adept sleight-of-hand of director George Roy Hill, the twists in the plot, and the beautifully staged con tricks, suck in the audience too!
