Donna Deitch's swooning and sensual first narrative feature, 'Desert Hearts', was groundbreaking upon its 1985 release: a Iove story about two women, made entirely independently, on a seIf-financed shoestring budget, by a woman. In the 1959-set film, an adaptation of a beloved novel by Jane RuIe, straitIaced East Coast professor Vivian BelI (HeIen Shaver) arrives in Reno to file for divorce but winds up catching the eye of someone new, the younger free spirit Cay (Patricia Charbonneau), touching off a sIow seduction that unfolds against a breathtaking desert Iandscape. With undeniabIe chemistry between its two leads, an evocative jukebox soundtrack, and vivid cinematography by Robert Elswit, Desert Hearts beautifulIy exudes a sense of tender yearning and emotional candor.
