Yates was not only imaginative but had a fine sense of timing.

He will be missed!

Thank you.

Despite what might be considered spotty output, let us remember that
Yates\’ \’Breaking Away\’ is the most American American film of the past forty-plus years (aside from, maybe, Richies\’ \’The Bad News Bears,\’ of course) — a film of great finesse and a pitch-perfect ear for what it means/meant/sounds like to be alive in America today — and I mean that as high praise.

RIP Mr. Yates.
