Cycle One

A drifter wanders the streets as a current of queries invites the viewer to consider daily existence. Embedded in its all-question format are ideas and emotions that can measure the gap between our moral compass, social consciousness, libido, and existential dread. Cycle One is a screen adaptation of the audacious novel The Interrogative Mood by Padgett Powell. Perhaps the author’s most bold, the book is like none other: it is composed entirely of questions. By embedding Powell‘s mix of wry humor and philosophical and absurd queries, the film challenges the conventions of narrative cinema in much the same way the Interrogative Mood challenges those of the novel. Starring Rufus Backman Ossandón as Chica de la calle.
