Robert Rafelson. He worked on TV, radio, and adapted theater plays for television. In 1968, he made his debut with the rock film Head about the Monkees, but the film went unnoticed. His second painting, Five Easy Pieces (1970), aroused widespread enthusiasm for the emergence of a new antihero (Jack Nicholson), wandering through life without a steering wheel and wind, but possessing attractiveness, a man who sincerely denies the walking virtues of the bourgeois family. The film “King Marvin Gardens” (1972) with its claim to European models of author’s cinema scared off both mass and elite audiences. More successful was the original comedy Stay Hungry (1976), which skillfully combined the world of bodybuilders with social criticism. The best work of the 80s was for the director the fourth adaptation of the black novel by J. Kane “The Postman Always Rings Twice” scripted by D. Mamet. The film not only perfectly recreates the alienated atmosphere of the Great Depression, but also throws a bridge into modernity, to the children of the counterculture of the 60s, uncomfortable in the stuffy atmosphere of conservative America.
