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.。本故事改编自《纽约时报》年度受欢迎小说——2008年的同名作品。故事里面Adrien Brody饰演曼哈顿一位作家Porter Wren，是一名原本是模范父亲及丈夫。他应一位陌生女子的求助去追查其神秘遇害的丈夫，却逐步坠入桃色纠纷之中。JB饰演其妻子Lisa Wren。 影片由Brian DeCubellis导演，其他演员包括Jennifer Beals、澳大利亚演员Yvonne Strahovski以及和JB大人多次合作的Campbell Scott、曾获艾美奖最佳女主角的Linda Lavin以及英国演员Steven Berkoff。。
