FIVE EASY PIECES
November 11, 2015  | By David Bianculli

Sundance, 10:00 p.m. ET

 
Another great movie typifying the rebellious attitude of the Sixties, even though it was released in 1970. Like the movie preceding this one on Sundance’s double feature tonight, Easy Rider, it features a young actor named Jack Nicholson. Here, though, Nicholson is the star, not the sidekick, and plays a wealthy rebel and skilled pianist who goes slumming as an oil-rig worker. Well, it’s not really slumming, if the women you encounter, and embrace, are played by Karen Black (pictured, with Nicholson) and, just before All in the Family, Sally Struthers.
