In celebration of Annapolis Royal Pride Weekend, we invite you to a FREE screening of the DESERT HEARTS, the all-time favourite, classic lesbian romantic film.
Donna Deitch’s swooning and sensual first narrative feature, Desert Hearts, was groundbreaking upon its release in 1985: a love story about two women, made entirely independently, on a shoestring budget, by a woman. In this 1959-set film, adapted from a beloved novel by Jane Rule, straitlaced East Coast professor Vivian Bell (Helen Shaver) arrives in Reno to file for divorce but winds up catching the eye of someone new, the free-spirited young Cay (Patricia Charbonneau), touching off a slow seduction that unfolds against a breathtaking desert landscape. With undeniable chemistry between its two leads, an evocative jukebox soundtrack, and vivid cinematography by Robert Elswit, Desert Hearts beautifully exudes a sense of tender yearning and emotional candor.
1985 ‧ Romance/Drama ‧ 1h 36m
Rated R
Doors open 45 minutes before showtime. Please arrive early.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by a guardian when attending a King’s Theatre event
No outside food or drink permitted
