簡介:影片根據加拿大作家Jane Rule創作的小說“Desert of the Heart”改編而成,背景設置于美國許多地方不允許離婚的1950年代。主人公之一是35歲的英文教授薇薇安,她為了離婚來到法律相對寬容的內華達州雷諾市,暫住在一間農場為離婚官司和流程做準備。嚴肅的薇薇安因此結識了農場主弗蘭西絲的繼女凱伊,凱伊比她年輕10歲,平時在賭場打工,是一個對取向不做掩飾的活潑女性。盡管薇薇安意識到自己被凱伊所吸引,她還是對開始這段關系有所顧慮,不確定自己是否做好了和同性在一起的準備。與此同時,被繼母弗蘭西絲依賴著的凱伊則意識到:薇薇安就是她等待已久的命中注定之人。1985年,成本僅35萬美元的《愛的甘露》正式公映,成為了第一部大規模公映的女同愛情長片,它的美好、幽默和對女性情欲的坦蕩表達不僅征服了無數觀眾的心,也讓很多人意識到兩個女性的愛是可能的,而且并不總以悲劇結尾。這部叫好又叫座的先鋒作為日后涌現的更多女同作品鋪平了道路。
簡介:The film tells the story of single mother “Kara” (Elizabeth Roberts) who moves from New York to the quiet countryside with her two children for a job opportunity she can’t afford to turn down. The family moves into their humble new guesthouse. Kara begins her work as a private nurse to “Walter,” (Bruce Davison) a man stricken with multiple sclerosis and an appraiser of rare antiquities with a secretive past. Her teenage son, Jesse, (Arman Darbo) is unhappy about this most of all. Losing his friends and moving to the middle of nowhere hasn’t made his job of looking after his little sister, “Cambria,” (Chloe Perrin) any easier. Doom precedes them. “Akiba,” (Treva Etienne) a shady international associate of Walter’s, brings with him a mysterious relic of ancient origin. “Kara” encounters run in with a local sheriff played by genre veteran actor Denise Crosby. All too quickly they discover the relic contains more than just legends. Inside, waits a terrifying creature born of ancient darkness and pure instinct…a pre-historic cave Spider unlike the modern world has ever seen.
