Desert Hearts (1986)
Donna Deitch’s Desert Hearts, about a literary professor going through a divorce and the young female artist who seduces her, is one of the most beloved queer films.
Yutani aptly explains: “I mean, Desert Hearts is a lesbian classic,” she says. “Like, every lesbian I know has seen this film. And not only once, but many times. It’s one of these important films that change LGBT film history.”
At the 1986 Sundance it was awarded a Special Jury Prize.
