Five Easy Pieces (Criterion Collection)

Film fans know there are "no substitutions" for Bob Rafelson's acclaimed drama, steeped in '60s Zeitgeist, starring Jack Nicholson as Robert Eroica Dupea─an oil rig worker who returns to the eccentric family of classical musicians he left behind years earlier. There to visit his dying father, "Bobby" finds himself alienated from both his highbrow relations and his clinging, country-music-loving girlfriend (Oscar-nominated Karen Black). With Susan Anspach, Ralph Waite, and Sally Struthers. 98 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary by Rafelson, others; featurettes; theatrical trailers.
