FIVE EASY PIECES
Special Features: New 4K Restoration
Jack Nicholson gives a career-making performance as Bobby Dupea, a young man from a well-to-do family who is on the run from his roots — and perhaps his future. A former piano prodigy, he has been biding his time in California with his ne’er-do-well friends, but when he learns his father is ill, he packs up his pregnant girlfriend (Karen Black) and hits the road to the family’s home in Washington. A series of misadventures — including an impromptu piano performance on the back of a moving truck, some far-out hitchhikers and the famous chicken salad scene at a roadside diner — all give way to a serious reckoning between Dupea and his family once home. The film was nominated for four Oscars®: Best Picture, Actor, Supporting Actress and Original Screenplay. DIR/PROD Bob Rafelson; SCR Carole Eastman; PROD Richard Wechsler. U.S., 1970, color, 98 min.
