"Many key figures of the New Hollywood circulated in the BBS orbit, among them László Kovacs, the Hungarian-born cinematographer with a soulful eye for American landscapes, and the actors Bruce Dern and Karen Black. But the undisputed star of the BBS story is Nicholson: 'Head' co-writer, 'Easy Rider' scene stealer, the ambiguously charismatic leading man of 'Five Easy Pieces' and, demonstrating his range, the buttoned-up sidekick (to Dern, who in turn channeled Nicholson) in 'The King of Marvin Gardens.'"
Dennis Lim in the Los Angeles Times explores America Lost and Found: The BBS Story, a new DVD box from the Criterion Collection.
