Suhel Banerjee’s CycleMahesh crystallizes through punctuations. Born in imaginative, fluid spaces, its portrait of a migrant laborer changes shape the minute we try to pin it down, define it. Opening in a play-like setting, with a person trapped, it hurls key questions right away: “Does the fire of hunger produce poetry? Does music die in it?” This is the closest the film stretches to spelling out its themes. Otherwise, it’s sprawling and slippering, dislodging assumptions. Threading sketches, handheld, phone footage and stately compositions, Banerjee straddles documentary and fable.
