When I’m was at the record store, I saw this vcd of “Nasaan Si Francis?”. I was about to buy Silent Sanctuary’s Fuchsiang Pag-ibig. I can’t decide what to buy so nag lakad lakad muna ako. Then about an hour, bumalik ako and decided to buy them both. As I said, I never had a chance to watch “Nasaan Si Francis?” when it’s still showing in Cinemas. I’m not fond of watching Filipino Films pero dahil nandito si Rico Blanco, why not try watching it.
This is an independent film. I understand the lack of budget. Like the setting is just at the house of Francis (Epy Quizon). Meron namang iba pero I mean dominant yung bahay ni Francis. I think they just shot the whole movie for 1 day, because yung attire ng main characters are the same from the start till the end. The movie is great and funny.
The story is basically about how Sonny (Rico) and Boy (Paolo Contis) fsearching for the ecstasy that can make them earn 30,000. Boy needs money to save his girl friend (Tanya Garcia) from a powerful Mamasan. Sonny and Boy thought Francis, their child hood friend alongside Marmar (Karl Roy). Boy and sonny had a debt to Francis na 5 grams of shabu. So they have 2nd thoughts of going to Francis, but they have no other choice. so they went to Francis. They want to loan 30,000 from Francis. He said that they should sell 50 tablets of ecstasy. They could double the price. He invited the 2 to smoke up to seal the deal. Francis goes into cardiac arrest and dies. The 2 try to revive him but eventually give-up. Instead of telling it to the police or his family they decided to keep him instead while they are searching for the ecstasy. So they search for it in the whole house. It’s not easy because they should hide or make them believe that Francis is still alive. There’s a lot of twist and turns so find yourself na lang.
Rico’s performance is mind blowing. His role is parang stupid and believes in superstition. He gives justice to his role kasi ibang iba talaga siya in that movie and how he performs in stage. Rico is so talented talaga.
Karl Roy of Kapatid was also there. He just sleeps from the start till the end. Well meron din naman siyang lines pero its parang normal lang. pwede na din.
Monti of Mayonnaise was also there. He played as the driver of Christopher de Leon. Konti lang ang lines pero ayos na din.
I like the movie. Its not only searching for Francis, it is also about searching yourself (dahil si Francis ay isang adik he is quite lost), searching for your family (because nag-iba yung relationship nilang magkakapatid when theire parents died and when nagging adik si Francis), searching for a friend. Like in Sonny and Boy’s relationship dinamayan ni Sonny si Francis with his problem kahit na ayaw niya talagang pumunta kina Francis. So its 4 out of 5 rock stars…
