The Harbor Theatre

“45 Years” — An intimate, moving and beautifully restrained portrait of a marriage shaken to its core by things left unspoken. Kate Mercer (Charlotte Rampling) is planning a party to celebrate her 45th wedding anniversary. One week before the celebration a letter arrives for her husband, Geoff (Tom Courtenay), containing news that reawakens troubling and long-hidden memories.

Though Kate continues to prepare for the anniversary, she becomes increasingly concerned by Geoff’s preoccupation with the letter and the ensuing revelations about his past. By the time the party comes round, there may not be a marriage left to celebrate. Anchored by sensational performances from Rampling and Courtenay, who won Best Actor and Best Actress awards at this year's Berlinale Film Festival, Andrew Haigh’s (“Weekend,” “Looking”) “45 Years” is British film making at its very best.

Rated R, it plays Wednesday, March 16 and Thursday, March 17 at 7 p.m.

“Brooklyn”   Set in the early 1950s, this film tells the story of a young Irish woman's immigration to New York, where she quickly falls into a romance. When her past catches up with her, she must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within them for her.

Staring Saoirse Ronan and Emory Cohen, directed by John Crowley and written by Nick Hornby (based on Colm Tóibín's novel).

Ty Burr of The Boston Globe describes “Brooklyn” as a "cinematic snow-globe of nostalgia, a portrait of two worlds that aches with family lost and freedoms found. It is a beautiful film to experience.”

“Brooklyn” is rated PG13 and plays at 7 p.m. Friday, March 18, Saturday, March 19 and Wednesday, March 23, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 20.

The Harbor Theatre is located at 185 Townsend Avenue across from Hannaford's market. For more information, call 207- 633-0438 or visit www.harbortheatre.net.

Lincoln Theater

“Iolanthe” Lincoln County Community Theater presents its third Gilbert & Sullivan musical. The fairy, Iolanthe, has been banished from fairyland because she married a mortal; this is strictly forbidden by fairy law. Her son, Strephon, is an Arcadian shepherd who wants to marry Phyllis, a Ward of Chancery. All the members of the House of Peers also want to marry Phyllis.

When Phyllis sees Strephon hugging a young woman (not knowing that it is his mother – immortal fairies all appear young), she assumes the worst and sets off a climactic confrontation between the peers and the fairies. Playing Friday, March 18 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 19 at 2 and 7:30 p.m., Sunday, March 20 at 2 p.m.
