A film about ordinary experience in a beautiful old New England port city, Belfast, Maine offers a portrait of daily life that emphasizes the work and cultural life of the community. The labors of lobstermen, tugboat operators, factory workers, shop owners, city counselors, doctors, judges, policemen, teachers, social workers, nurses, and ministers become fascinating under the careful eye of a great documentarian. Wiseman works like a pointillist painter, creating a mural from small bits, that tells the story of a town, a society, a whole species. 1999, U.S., color, 16mm, 248 minutes.
