So I watched Desert Hearts the other day. It was good. So now I'm going to review it.
In the first scene, we see a lot of people getting off a train. We also meet one of the main characters, Vivian, who is an intellectual from the city visiting for reasons that pertain to her job as a college professor.
The next scene is when we meet the other main character, Kay, who is the wild one. She starts driving backwards on the road so that she can talk to Frances who is the woman that Vivian is staying with. Frances is also the late wife of Kay's dad.
Frances wants to make sure that Vivian does not go anywhere near Kay because she thinks that Kay would be a bad influence on Vivian. There are reasons why she would think that.
Vivian is actually in the process of getting a divorce from her husband of many years. She decided that she needed something else.
One thing that happens is that Vivian walks into Kay's house when she is having company (there is a woman in her bedroom) which creates awkwardness. This is the first time that Vivian realizes that Kay is a lesbian.
A friendship between Kay and Vivian ensues. Frances is of course not okay with this. She is definitely not happy when they come home after Kay's friend's wedding the next day. Frances assumes the worst and is unhappy to hear that Vivian is not who she thought she was.
I won't spoil the ending for you. It's worth watching, though. Go see it.
