A brilliant-but-unhappy concert pianist, Robert Dupea (Jack Nicholson) has given up music to work as an oil rigger in California. Informed by his sister that their father has had two strokes, Dupea heads home to Seattle, accompanied by his pregnant girlfriend, Rayette (Karen Black). Leaving her at a motel, Dupea visits the family homestead, only to fall for his brother's fiancée, Catherine (Susan Anspach). After a brief affair, an angry and alienated Dupea leaves with Rayette, only to abandon her at a gas station, as he hitches a ride to Alaska to begin a new life. Nominated for four 1970 Oscars®, including Best Picture and Actor.

Critics Consensus: An important touchstone of the New Hollywood era, Five Easy Pieces is a haunting portrait of alienation that features one of Jack Nicholson's greatest performances.

Michael Calleri

The exceptional film is not merely about the family you discover after you leave home. It is also about the family you left behind. Life has a way of connecting them to each other. The extraordinary "Five Easy Pieces" shows us why this is important.

A new kind of picture even for its era. Jack Nicholson's performance still stands as one of his greatest.

... wants us to feel complicated about Bobby, but only to a certain degree.

Jack Nicholson delivers one of this best performances in James Foley's simplistic, yet powerful and effective character study. A key example of the American New wave. [Full review in Spanish]

If 'Easy Rider' is the epitaph for the sixties, 'Five Easy Pieces' ushers in the silver age of personal filmmaking in the seventies. It’s a silent scream of alienation and narcissism with a revelatory performance by Nicholson...
