Desert Hearts (1986)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 91m
Director: Donna Deitch
Cast: Helen Shaver, Patricia Charbonneau

Synopsis:

1959, Reno: a woman professor awaiting finalisation of her divorce discovers a latent sexuality with a sculptress ten years her junior.

Review:

The best serious lesbian film to date which manages to include a sex scene without its being either embarrassing or injurious to the human side of the story. The milieu is carefully prepared first, with a variety of characters sharply drawn, but then the proceedings tend towards tedium as one waits for something to happen.
