DESERT HEARTS
Dir. Donna Deitch, 1986, USA, 90 min.
A stunning achievement of storytelling and romantic abandon, this classic lesbian film tells the story of Vivian (Helen Shaver), an uptight English professor visiting Reno for a divorce in 1959. When she meets free-spirited Cay (Patricia Charbonneau), a sculptress and casino worker, Vivian's orderly demeanor gives way to passion and a self-realization she never imagined.
With an exclusive sneak peek at sexy, never-before-seen footage from the upcoming DVD release of Desert Hearts!
IN PERSON: Director Donna Deitch
IN COLLABORATION WITH: Women on a Roll
