Brokeback Desert
It’s 1959 Reno, Nevada. Vivian Bell (Helen Shaver) is an English Lit professor at Columbia in NYC. She comes to stay at a ranch owned by Frances Parker to establish residency in Nevada for a quickie divorce. She’s been married to another professor for 12 years in a professional marriage. She’s willing to give him everything. Cay Rivvers (Patricia Charbonneau) is a wild child who lives at the ranch as Frances’ surrogate daughter. She’s relatively open as a lesbian considering the times but she still gets hit on by men. She finds herself falling for the newly arrived older woman.

It’s not necessarily the most dramatic or the most well made lesbian movie. The lack of drama is a triumph in itself. This time, lesbianism doesn’t end in tragic deaths or finding a man or insanity.

Their relationship doesn’t destroy them but actually leaves them fulfilled.Read More
