Lianna

Director: John Sayles

1983 / 115min / 35mm

“‘Lianna Massey eats pussy.’ So proudly declares the title protagonist of Sayles’s compassionate portrait of a newly lesberated woman. Ditching her supercilious husband to embark on a passionate affair with her child-psychology prof, Lianna is introduced to the myriad pleasures of the dyke bar, not least the thrill of being cruised.”—Melissa Anderson, curator
