Made for only $350,000 in 1985 when no one wanted to fund or star in a movie about lesbians, Desert Hearts is widely considered the first full-length lesbian love story, and its success paved the way for the proliferation of lesbian films we enjoy today.
Directed by Donna Deitch and set in 1950's Reno, Nevada, Desert Hearts tells the story of a 35-year-old uptight female professor Vivian (Helen Shaver) who comes to town to file for divorce and ends up falling in love with a free-spirited 25-year-old casino worker Cay (Patricia Charbonneau).
Although Vivian left her husband because she had "drowned in still waters," she is not quite prepared for the tidal wave-effect Cay has on her life. As Vivian herself admits, her life is all about "order," and her image of herself as a scholar and a professional, upstanding woman does not include a relationship with a woman. Cay, meanwhile, is living at home with her stepmother, Frances (Audra Lindley) while she waits to meet someone who "counts"--and she almost immediately recognizes that Vivian is that someone.
Both women struggle with conflicting desires and a sense of obligation to others, and are ultimately drawn together not just because of their attraction to each other, but because each woman offers the other something she has been unable to find on her own.。由珍妮·曼斯建立于1642年,与这座城市同年诞生的蒙特利尔主宫医院将会在2017年被新的建筑所取代。这部影片让我们沉浸在一个与外界隔绝的世界中。在这里,生命、死亡、爱与友谊近距离共存。这部电影是一个关于勇气和康复的故事,是医院最后的居住者们的故事。最后两年间,在医院发生的一系列大小事件,组成了一个充满着人性光辉的故事。。这是一部民国女性探案的故事,张探长女友冯芊芊是留洋学的侦探,归国后两人搭档走向了寻找真凶之旅。命案先以地产大亨王强在镜子面前被人所杀拉开序幕,故事环环相扣,在诡异的背后都有不为人知的阴谋,冯芊芊层层叠叠剥开最后找到了真相。故事以法为核心,表达女侦探在那个黑暗年代中寻求真相锲而不舍的精神!。
