“one of Nicholson’s finest performances … a succession of dazzling scenes” Observer

Jack Nicholson announced himself as a leading man with his iconic portrayal of flawed American anti-hero Bobby Dupea: torn between his cultured upper-class background, and the blue-collar world he has adopted. Easy Rider producer Bob Rafelson’s influential and critically acclaimed drama is regarded as a touchstone movie of the ‘New Hollywood’ era of the early 1970s.

“It’s a movie made by a gang of film lovers … borne out of their collective love of the kinds of movies that it seemed no one in Hollywood wanted to make. Until they did.” Variety
