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.。比利(杰米•贝尔 Jamie Bell 饰)的家人是英国的一个底层矿工。他们参加罢工,挣扎在贫困的生活中,并认为比利应该学些男人的拳术。比利本来每周都去一回拳击班,偶然的机会却让他走上了不一样的路途。 因为一个小意外,比利发现了潜意识中对芭蕾的热爱,而挑剔世故的芭蕾老师威尔金森(朱丽•沃特斯 Julie Walters 饰)无意中发现了比利极具芭蕾天赋。二人一拍即合,威尔金森甚至放弃她的一班女学生,把全部心思放在培养小比利上。可是比利的家庭全然不理解儿子为何爱上女生的玩意。比利在家庭的反对下,痛苦的抉择。 然而大好机会就在当前。万一考上伦敦的皇家芭蕾学校,比利的芭蕾梦想将得到一个广阔舞台。比利站在一个十字路口,选择着他的人生。。
