Easy Rider

If there is one film that captures the rebellious spirit of counterculture, it’s Easy Rider, the first feature by actor and director Dennis Hopper. Following the hallucinatory journey of two California bikers traveling the pioneer trail in reverse, this psychedelic road movie critiques all the myths and values that 1970s American youth stood against. An iconoclastic manifesto, it lays bare the deep wounds and contradictions of the American Dream.
