DESERT HEARTS

September 20th, 2012

DESERT HEARTS- 1985. Synopsis by Netflix. “Uptight literature professor Vivian Bell (Helen Shaver) heads to Reno, Nev., in 1959 for a quickie divorce. While staying with Frances Parker (Audra Lindley) at her ranch to establish residency, Bell meets Parker’s adopted daughter (Patricia Charbonneau), a casino worker 10 years her junior. Bell finds herself increasingly drawn to the open and self-assured lesbian, and their developing intimacy releases buried emotions Bell has never explored.”

Obviously dated but this film was very risque and thought provoking at the time. I liked it. TRDB.
