Lakbay2Love is a film about beauty, no doubt. The
sceneries shown in Lakbay2Love by Erasto Films are all worthy to be shown
onscreen. Eye candy with a breathtaking feeling, would make you wish that you
could explore those mountains, hills through biking. This is the third offering
by the award-winning filmmaker Ellen Ongkeko Marfill, following Pusang Gala and
Boses.
Lakbay2Love stars Solenn Heussaff and Dennis Trillo.
Solenn plays Lianne, a videographer who features forester Jay-R (Trillo) who
advocates biking for healthier environment. Lianne is recovering from heartbreak over Macky
(Kit Thompson) who happens to be a friend of Jay-R. Their fates crossover. But the film does not create so much of a love
triangle feel.
One very good thing about Lakbay2Love is the details of
its characters. The research was well analyzed and given justice through their
dialogues. You can feel that it is not just about biking. It also points out
some negative impacts of it to the environment.
Trillo’s charm and brilliance in acting was showcased. I felt
his skill in the scene before he sang Overdrive, his eyes were talking to me. The
fact that he is a biker in real life shows onscreen. While Kit Thompson’s performance
makes you think that he had been acting for a long time, even before his Pinoy
Big Brother stint. The scene with shirtless Kit playing with a dog is a winner.
You’d wish for extra rice.
Lakbay2Love presents sceneries of the Philippines that I
think was never shown in any other films, like the La Mesa Dam, Timberland
Heights and Benguet. I guarantee that those landscapes are all to die for and
make them part of your bucket list.
The songs are all original Filipino music and really fit
well to the scenes of nature being explored.
Lakbay2Love will open in theatres this February 3, 2016. This
film is supported by La Mesa Ecopark, Timberland Heights, 7-Eleven, Firefly
Brigade and the Cordillera Conservation Trust. For details, please check facebook.com/Lakbay2Love
