Breaking Away
Directed by Peter Yates
1979
★ 5.7 editorial score
No sports film is sweeter, and the sport barely matters: an Indiana teenager pretends to be Italian because he loves bicycle racing, and the town's class divide does the rest.
“"Breaking Away" is a wonderfully sunny, funny, goofy, intelligent movie that makes you feel about as good as any movie in a long time...It's about four local kids, just out of high school, who mess around for one final summer before facing the inexorable choices of jobs or college or the Army.”
