Synopsis |
|
Lianna is the naive young wife of a
professor bored with her life and
angered at her husband's blatant
sexual indiscretions. She has an
affair with another woman, Ruth
(Jane Halleran), and when her affair
becomes common knowledge, she finds
herself shunned by both her friends
and family. LIANNA is a realistic
depiction of a lesbian relationship
that does not succumb to typical
Hollywood formulas. Director John
Sayles traces the consequences of
divorce and the constrictions of
women's possibilities with an
unsentimental eye, showing that
freedom often comes with a heavy
price. |
