Five Easy Pieces

In an Academy Award®-nominated performance for Best Actor (1970), Jack Nicholson is outstanding in Five Easy Pieces, the acclaimed drama from director Bob Rafelson. Although a brilliant, classical pianist from an intellectual, well-to-do family, Robert Dupea (Nicholson), has made a career out of running from job to job and woman to woman. Presently working in an oil field, Dupea spends most of his free time downing beers, playing poker and being noncommittal with his sexy but witless girlfriend Rayette (Karen Black). But when he is summoned to his father's deathbed, Dupea returns home with Rayette, where he meets and falls for a sophisticated woman (Susan Anspach). Now caught between his conflicting lifestyles, the gifted but troubled Dupea must face issues that will change his life forever. Deceptively simple, but one of the most complex and interesting films of its time, Five Easy Pieces garnered a 1970 Academy Award® nomination for Best Picture with Black receiving the 1970 New York Film Critics award (Best Supporting Actress) for her excellent performance.

Five Easy Pieces

Jack Nicholson ble nominert til en Academy Award® for beste skuespiller (1970) for sin utmerkede prestasjon i FIVE EASY PIECES, det anerkjente dramaet fra regissør Bob Rafelson. Selv om han er en begavet klassisk pianist fra en intellektuell, velstående familie, har Robert Dupea (Nicholson) som karriere å hoppe fra yrke til yrke og kvinne til kvinne. Dupea jobber for tiden på et oljefelt og sluker øl, spiller poker og nekter å forplikte seg til den sexy, men vettløse kjæresten Rayette (Karen Black) på fritiden. Men når hans far ligger på dødsleiet, reiser Dupea hjem med Rayette, og der forelsker han seg i en elegant kvinne (Susan Anspach). Den begavede Dupea er nå fanget mellom to motstridende livsstiler og må finne svar på spørsmål som vil endre livet hans for godt. Den fremstår som veldig enkel, men er en av de mest sammensatte og interessante filmene fra sin tid. FIVE EASY PIECES ble i 1970 nominert til en Academy Award® for beste film. Black ble tildelt New York Film Critics-prisen (beste kvinnelige birolle) for hennes utmerkede prestasjon.
