Get on your bikes and ride down to Vidiots for this coming-of-age classic on two wheels with a special pre-screening conversation with the legendary Paul Dooley!
Join us for Peter Yates’ keenly observed character study and underdog teen triumph. Dave, nineteen, has just graduated high school, with his three friends: the comical Cyril, the warm hearted but short-tempered Moocher, and the athletic, spiteful but good-hearted Mike. Now, Dave enjoys racing bikes and hopes to race the Italians one day, and even takes up the Italian culture, much to his friends’ and parents’ annoyance. With affectionate characterization, a remarkable cast, and an un-clichéd underdog story for everyone, Breaking Away remains an effortless classic of 1970s cinema!
