The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
“The Adventures of Priscilla” alternates between pit stops in unlikely places (Bernardette does an expert job of startling a crowd of drunks in one small town) and eye-catching musical numbers, which are the film’s real raison d’etre.” – NY Times
Synopsis:
When drag queen Anthony (Hugo Weaving) agrees to take his act on the road, he invites fellow cross-dresser Adam (Guy Pearce) and transsexual Bernadette (Terence Stamp) to come along. In their colorful bus, named Priscilla, the three performers travel across the Australian desert performing for enthusiastic crowds and homophobic locals. But when the other two performers learn the truth about why Anthony took the job, it threatens their act and their friendship.
