Unfairly overlooked amid the riches of ’70s Hollywood, this re-release of Bob Rafelson’s ( Five Easy Pieces ) drama confirms it as a minor-key marvel.
Rafelson regular Jack Nicholson plays against type as a depressive DJ compelled to aid the schemes of huckster brother Bruce Dern and his girlfriend (Ellen Burstyn).
It’s a sobering and soulful glimpse at the fag-end of the American Dream, its ragged rhythms given lucidity by Lazlo Kovacs’ austere photography of Atlantic City in winter and a trio of powerhouse performances.
While Dern and Burstyn provide the acting fireworks, an impressively melancholy Nicholson still steals it, notably in his bravura opening six-minute, one-take monologue.
