About This Movie
This Is It (2001) is an intriguing dive into post-communist life in Sulina, Romania. The film captures this once-prosperous town's slow descent into poverty, and it does so with a mix of raw realism and unexpected humor. The pacing feels meditative, allowing you to soak in the stark beauty of the landscape, which contrasts sharply with the residents' struggles. The performances are genuine, almost haunting, as locals share their stories filled with dreams and despair. The film's practical effects are minimal, yet they add to the authenticity of the narrative. It's distinctive in how it portrays a place teetering on the edge of hope and hopelessness, showcasing the human spirit in a world of disarray.
