A school teacher in a close-knit farming community is seduced by his new student, a precocious 17-year-old beauty. This erotically-charged film of Jim Harrison's novel Farmer sounds like a sweaty mid-life fantasy, but it is given dignity and poignancy thanks to exceptional performances by Dennis Hopper (in a thankful departure from his recent madman roles) and Amy Irving as his lifelong sweetheart. A strong optional purchase. (K. Lee Benson)
