Jan 29 & Feb 1
Bobby Dupea (Jack Nicholson) lives in Kern County, California with his girlfriend Rayette (Karen Black). Both work in menial labour, but Bobby secretly comes from wealth and is a classically trained pianist. When Bobby learns his father his sick, he and Rayette travel to Washington, where Bobby is forced to reconcile his background with the man he’s become – and the man he wants to be. Nominated for four Academy Awards, Five Easy Pieces also solidified Jack Nicholson’s star persona.
A very modern film. Elliptical, absurdist, harshly humorous, convulsively lyrical.
Village Voice
If the function of art is to help an audience feel less alone, then Five Easy Pieces succeeds beautifully. –
