In “Drive, He Said,” the paranoic student is afraid of the draft, the System, and They, whoever They are. The other student is a star basketball player, or, as his friends tell him, “You stay after school to run around in your underwear.”

The two most overlooked films of the BBS era, Drive, He Said and A Safe Placeare daring, personal character studies, and the directorial debuts of, respectively, Jack Nicholson and Henry Jaglom. Nicholson's feverish snapshot of the early seventies concerns a disaffected college basketball player and his increasingly radical roommate. In Jaglom's de...
The Criterion Collection packs together two lesser known films from the BBS era, Jack Nicholson's Drive, He Said and Henry Jaglom's A Safe Place, both presented here in their original aspect ratios of 1.85:1, sharing the same dual-layer disc.
