The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
1994
****
Director: Stephan Elliott
Cast: Guy Pearce, Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving, Sarah Chadwick

An outrageous and often hilarious comedy about three drag artists who make a trip through Australia on their decrepit
bus, Priscilla. During the trip the trio test how open-minded Australians and the audience are. The film is full of catchy tunes (mostly by Abba) and colourful show numbers. The flamboyant costumes won an Academy Award.
