Directed by Bob Rafelson, Five Easy Pieces is a landmark 1970 American drama starring Jack Nicholson as Robert Eroica Dupea, a former classical pianist who has abandoned his privileged upbringing for a restless working-class existence.
Working in the California oilfields, Robert struggles with his relationships and sense of identity, distancing himself from his cultured family and drifting through an increasingly unsatisfying life.
When he learns that his father is seriously ill, he returns to his family home, where he must confront the past and the expectations he has spent years avoiding.
Karen Black stars as Rayette Dipesto, Robert's girlfriend, while the supporting cast includes Susan Anspach, Billy Green Bush, Sally Struthers and Marlena MacGuire.
One of the defining films of the New Hollywood movement, Five Easy Pieces explores alienation, class differences, family relationships and the search for personal identity.
The film received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Jack Nicholson, Best Supporting Actress for Karen Black and Best Original Screenplay.
This original US Awards Style theatrical poster features a striking yellow background with bold red typography celebrating the film's success with the New York Film Critics Circle.
The design prominently announces three awards: Best Picture of the Year, Best Director for Bob Rafelson and Best Supporting Actress for Karen Black.
Unlike the alternative Reviews Style poster, this version concentrates on the film's major critical awards, making it a distinctive piece of early-1970s theatrical advertising.
An original piece of cinema memorabilia for collectors of Jack Nicholson, Bob Rafelson, New Hollywood cinema and unusual vintage movie poster designs.
