Μυθοπλασία/Fiction, ΗΠΑ/USA, 1969, 95 ́, DCP, Έγχρ./Color, Mε ήχο/Sound

Wyatt and Bill, played by co-scriptwriter Peter Fonda and by the director of the film Dennis Hopper accordingly, after transporting drugs, they decide to ride further their chopper motorbikes and travel cross country. They meet the decadent lawyer George Hanson (Jack Nicholson), and hippies seeking alternative ways of life. They also experience the bigotry and hatred from the inhabitants of small-town America. It’s a landmark film, at the threshold of independent New Hollywood, in which the decadence of the ‘American Dream’ is rendered with sex drugs and rock n roll. While it was a low-budget film, it cashed millions, probably due to the uncensored representation of the counter-culture of the 1960s.

Dennis Hopper// Dennis Hopper, film actor, director, and writer, with Easy Rider, rose to fame as a counter-cultural icon. However, his substance abuse overshadowed his creativity. By the mid-1980s, having overcome his addictions, Hopper attained additional renown for his photography and his paintings.
