Event details

Part of: Reel Queer – LGBTQIA+ Film Club / Pay What You Can 

Directed by Donna Deitch
Starring Helen Shaver, Patricia Charbonneau, Audra Lindley

Director Donna Deitch makes a strong impression in her first feature film, a simple story of a lesbian love affair, based on Jane Rule’s 1964 novel Desert of the Heart. 

Escape to wide open spaces with this moody Americana love story set against a rock ‘n’ roll western backdrop. Desert Hearts oozes atmosphere as Vivian and Cay sneak sideways glances at each other whilst driving down the blacktop. Glances that develop and develop into a soft romance you’ll root for. 

Join Reel Queer after the film for a post-screening discussion.
