Laszlo Kovacs' photography is as subtle as ever, though he catches some wonderful dusks, and there's a tracking shot in the family house which captures motion and emotional intensity wonderfully. Benefits from a particularly European ending.

Five Easy Pieces (1970 Bob Rafelson)
It was Jack's 80th birthday and this was well overdue. Carole Eastman wrote an intriguing story which leaps from oil-drilling to classical piano. Jack's a bit of a brute, running from the pressure to be a great musician, totally abusing dumb girlfriend Karen Black. Great scenes with Billy Green Bush and Fannie Flagg, with opinionated hitchhikers and café scene, the family - Lois Smith (wonderful as tightly-strung sister), Ralph Waite and his girlfriend Susan Anspach and father William Challee.
