One of the wild cards of this year’s iteration of Cinemalaya is An Errand, written by Sarge Lacuesta and directed by Dominic Bekaert.
Jul 27, 2024 03:01 PMIn a sense, the resolution to the film is purposely left open-ended or even non-existent. It’s more a case of ‘this is just the way it is,’ and the takeaway is our own, not dictated by the filmmakers. Known for the stunning and creative visuals of his music videos , this would be Dominic’s first Filipino feature film, and it takes us on a transformative road trip between Manila and Baguio .
Sid Lucero would be the most recognizable actor attached to the film, but the cast is an impressive roster of actor’s actors: Art Acuña, Nanding Josef, and Elora Españo — all proven thespians - known for their acting more than for name recognition. Moroy is sent from Baguio to Manila just to retrieve the Mona Lisa shirt and bring it back to Baguio. The absurd errand He undertakes becomes a jump point for an existential journey into his psyche. It becomes a commentary on class and character and a meeting point for memory, dreams, and fantasy. It’s this blending of the internal with the physical that makes this such an intriguing and ultimately illuminating film.
