Following Jack Nicholsonās breakout supporting turn inĀ Easy Rider,Ā director Bob Rafelson devised a powerful leading role for the new star in the searing character studyĀ Five Easy Pieces.Ā Nicholson plays the now iconic cad Bobby Dupea, a shiftless thirtysomething oil rigger and former piano prodigy immune to any sense of responsibility, who returns to his upper-middle-class childhood home, blue-collar girlfriend (Karen Black, in an Oscar-nominated role) in tow, to see his estranged, ailing father. Moving in its simplicity and gritty in its textures,Ā Five Easy PiecesĀ is a lasting example of early-1970s American alienation.
