Cinq Pièces Faciles (Five Easy Pieces)

Five Easy Pieces follows the journey of a gifted pianist from a wealthy family who struggles to find his place in the world. Searching for purpose, he becomes estranged from his family, hits the road, and takes on a series of menial jobs. This tormented character, brilliantly brought to life by Jack Nicholson in a career-defining performance, embodies the disillusioned antihero typical of New Hollywood films. A bitter reflection on a fractured community, this road movie is a genre-defining masterpiece that continues to inspire filmmakers to this day.
