The Delicate Cycle Review –
While a short film can be constraining, those limitations can be turned into strengths. You can concentrate things down into their core forms. For example, that transient information that gets passed down from generation to generation. Today, we are looking at a film that is working in that space.
So, to set the scene, it is just a typical day for Lance (Fred Mancuso) as he gets into the laundromat as early as possible to get his clothes done. Usually, there is no one there, bar maybe Anita (Yassmin Flores), but today there was someone new, a young kid called Adam (Dean Norris Jr.) who is in the process of trying to win at Ms Pacman but also struggling with his emotions.
Lance and Adam had a great rapport. Image Credit: Westside Original Works.
What I really liked about this short film is how it was a quiet meditation on these two characters, who come from very different generations and places yet still have a lot in common. They also make the most of their one location. A laundromat has so many different moving parts even if it is not that chaotic world of Everything Everywhere All At Once. These various steps give you a chance to move the story to the next point.
There was a wonderful comradery between our two leads, people from very different worlds, but they still found a way to bond. There is not a large cast here, so if that bond didn't work, the whole film would have fallen apart. I wish they could have developed this a bit more than throwing a ball in a laundromat, and I will say that the film drops more narrative points than it has time to resolve. It is well constructed visually, also a fantastic selection for opening and closing song.
In the end, do we recommend The Delicate Cycle? Yes, we do. It is an excellent short film that does not outstay its welcome, exploring the knowledge that gets handed down from generation to generation. If you liked The Delicate Cycle, we would recommend The Mountain.
