{"product_id":"deserthearts902","title":"Desert Hearts (#902)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDonna 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew, restored 4K digital transfer, supervised by cinematographer Robert Elswit and created by the UCLA Film \u0026amp; Television Archive in conjunction with the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project and the Sundance Institute, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio commentary from 2007 featuring director Donna Deitch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew conversation between Deitch and actor Jane Lynch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew interviews with actors Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemembering Reno, a new program featuring Deitch, Elswit, and production designer Jeannine Oppewall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcerpt from Fiction and Other Truths: A Film About Jane Rule, a 1994 documentary about the author of Desert of the Heart, the 1964 novel on which the film is based\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLUS: An essay by critic B.
