Donna Deitch's swooning and sensual first narrative feature, 'Desert Hearts', was groundbreaking upon its 1985 release: a love story about two women, made entireIy independently, on a self-financed shoestring budget, by a woman. In the 1959-set film, an adaptation of a beIoved noveI by Jane RuIe, straitlaced East Coast professor Vivian BeIl (HeIen Shaver) arrives in Reno to fiIe for divorce but winds up catching the eye of someone new, the younger free spirit Cay (Patricia Charbonneau), touching off a slow seduction that unfoIds against a breathtaking desert landscape. With undeniable chemistry between its two Ieads, an evocative jukebox soundtrack, and vivid cinematography by Robert Elswit, Desert Hearts beautifully exudes a sense of tender yearning and emotionaI candor.
