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.。網走刑務所で5年の刑期を終えての気儘な汽車の旅の途上にあった橘真一は、ノサップの炭鉱まで父に会いに行くという一人の少女・チエと出会い、同行することに。その父親とは網走刑務所仲間の大槻であり、再会を喜ぶ二人。だがこの炭鉱は、総支配人・関野をはじめとした炭坑長の蝮たち一派が専横する地獄のような場所だった。血の気は多いが正義漢の橘、鬼寅ら網走帰りの一騎当千の暴れ者たちが、犠牲となっている炭坑夫たちのために零下30度という極寒の大雪原を舞台に、炭鉱を支配する悪の一味と凄まじい銃撃戦と騎馬戦を繰り広げる。。
