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.。吉恩在妻子去世后想同加利福尼亚的一位女子佩吉结婚，但遭到父亲的强烈反对；后来母亲死了，吉恩想要父亲做一个看门的职业，也遭到父亲的反对；他又建议老父与他一道去加州，老父却坚持住在纽约。结果吉恩负气离家出走。本片反映了现实生涯中子女如何对待父母，尤其是孤寡老人的问题。另一方面也对社会上广为流传的“子恨父"，“父摆架子"的两代人之间在的对立情绪给予了绝妙的讽刺。本片获得奥斯卡最佳编剧、最佳男主角、最佳男配角的提名。。
