I lived and worked in Rochester for a decade or so before leaving in 2000 for Bloomington, Indiana, the setting of "Breaking Away". I loved the film when I first saw it at the time of its release, and just thinking about it continues to make me smile. Sometimes I wonder if that's just because it's interesting to see Bloomington as it looked nearly 30 years ago - then I read a review of the film like yours, and I know it's not just me. Thank you for showing it at the Dryden! One correction - it's Indiana University, not the University of Indiana. You're in good company: the closing credits of the film "Kinsey" also get that wrong.
