Bob Rafelson was one of the most important and influential directors to emerge in the New Hollywood boom of the 1960s and 70s. In films like Five Easy Pieces, he captured the confused mood of the times, with his leading man Jack Nicholson embodying the dissatisfaction felt by many in the post-sixties cultural landscape. Rafelson, though, was always hard to pin down to a style, and his filmography is full of such unique gems as The King of Marvin Gardens, Stay Hungry, The Postman Always Rings Twice, and Blood and Wine. In this book, writer and musician Chris Wade explores Rafelson's extraordinary body of work, as well as getting fresh recollections from colleagues and collaborators.
