Five Easy Pieces**
(15)
Electric Palace, Harwich

US 1970. Columbia/Bert Schneider. 98m.

A drifter who is also a talented pianist rejects his family and his pregnant girlfriend and reflects on his empty life by heading north to Alaska.
Compelling 70s fable with more than a ring of truth to it (symptomatic of the disaffected generation of the late 1960s), low key for the most part but with outstanding individual scenes that are worth the wait.
