This is It

1971 · 10 min Drama
4.9 / 10 · TMDB

James Broughton's creation myth, THIS IS IT, places a 2-year-old Adam and a bright apple-red balloon in a backyard garden of Eden, and works a small miracle of the ordinary. And since that miracle is what his film is about, he achieves a kind of casual perfection in matching means and ends.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Broughton constructs a cinematic creation myth that relies entirely on the unadorned wonder of a child's exploration. The film explores the extraordinary within the ordinary, achieving a perfect harmony between its minimalist means and profound ends.

What lingers after the final frame is a quiet, recalibrated sense of perception, a reminder that paradise is a state of attention, not a distant place. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: James Broughton
