西班牙近年最具写实震撼力的家庭暴力电影，以倒叙形式纪录夫妻由一见钟情变成拳头怨侣的痛爱过程。一次比一次的残酷暴力，震撼人心。已说不清当初一见锺情的模样，只记起第一次的争吵，第一次出手伤人。妻子因循保守的家庭教养，以为哑忍了事却只换来更残苛的暴力。 和所有隐藏着暴力的家庭一样，Angela和Joaquin最初也曾经是令人羡慕的一对，他们通过工作关系而认识，一见钟情，很快举行婚礼。他们第一次吵架是因为Angela在怀孕期间抽烟，Joaquin第一次出手伤人也是因为Angela的抽烟，然后是更多的吵架，更多地打人，和转瞬即忘的忏悔。当然到后来，Joaquin打妻子的理由已经越来越多了：偷看Angela大学朋友的来信而吃醋，因为Angela不想与他做爱而恼羞成怒，凡此种种。 Angela 也没有更多地选择，因为在西班牙的法律中，Joaquin的惩罚最多只是被...。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.。
