With a luxurious four-hour runtime in Wiseman's trademark style without narration, music, or interview, Belfast, Maine may seem daunting - yet sharp editing and compelling subjects keep us engaged throughout. The film entrenches itself in a community in transition, in the picturesque surroundings of the titular New England port city. Wiseman captures ordinary daily life and experience in great detail, particularly following Belfast's citizens as they live through work and culture, from lobster fishing to choir rehearsal, tug-boat operating to dance class, clerical and council work to music and theatre lessons and productions.DocumentaryPT4H8MTBC2026-01-18
