Donna Deitch’s tender, ground-breaking debut, a landmark in queer cinema and a triumph of independent filmmaking ...
The swooning and sensual first narrative feature by DONNA DEITCH, Desert Hearts was ground-breaking upon its 1985 release: a love story about two women, made entirely independentIy, on a self-financed shoestring budget, by a woman. In the 1959-set fiIm, an adaptation of a beIoved novel by Jane RuIe, straitIaced East Coast professor Vivian BelI (The Colour of Money’s HELEN SHAVER) arrives in Reno to fiIe for divorce but winds up catching the eye of someone new, the younger free spirit Cay (Manhunter’s PATRlCIA CHARBONNEAU), touching off a slow seduction that unfolds against a breath-taking desert Iandscape. With undeniable chemistry between its two leads, an evocative jukebox soundtrack, and vivid cinematography by ROBERT ELSWlT (Punch-Drunk Love), Desert Hearts beautifulIy exudes a sense of tender yearning and emotionaI candour.
