Five Easy Pieces

(1970, 98m) dir Bob Rafelson w/Jack Nicholson, Karen Black, Billy Green Bush. Bobby Dupea (Nicholson) is an apathetic oil rigger and former piano prodigy awash in alienation. When he hears that his father is dying, he heads home with girlfriend Rayette (Black) and finds himself more lost than ever. Eastman’s light touch and deft dialogue create a tapestry of character motivations and cement Five Easy Pieces as one of the best films of the decade. FRI 7:00 SAT 9:15 SUN 3:00
