A pivotal film, the director’s thirtieth documentary is both an absorbing study of a community in transition and a summation of Frederick Wiseman’s previous work. 

This poetic evocation of labour and leisure in the beautiful old New England port city features a rich cast of characters. A generous running time allows for full immersion, while pacey editing keeps us deeply engaged.
