Lampas Langit

Lampas Langit tells the story of columnist Jake de Vera (Baron Geisler) and his wife, swimsuit designer Mylene (Chloe Jenna), who have just moved into a new apartment. Their neighbors are famous novelist Arman Fuentes-Diaz (Ricky Davao) and his daughter Belle (Christine Bermas). Jake and Belle immediately begin an affair. While Jake begins writing a novel about their obsessive love on his laptop, Arman is also writing a novel about them on his old typewriter.

Arman Fuentes-Diaz is easily the most interesting character in this film, and Ricky Davao certainly plays his part well, even bringing out the best in his co-stars Geisler, Jenna, and Bermas. Jenna is generally underwhelming, but with Davao she has more nuance and subtlety, which is actually quite good. Compared to her previous films, Bermas is quite stiff here, but in the final scene with Davao she is very relaxed and natural. Baron Geisler also gives his best scene to Jake, especially in the last fifteen minutes, when reality starts to set in.
