Reel Queer: Desert Hearts
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.
This is a Pay What You Can screening – choose from £4, £6.50 or £9.90.
