THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT (1994)
A vibrant, heartfelt, and hilarious film that follows the journey of two drag queens and a transgender woman as they travel across the Australian Outback in a dilapidated bus they affectionately name "Priscilla.". The film stars Hugo Weaving as Tick (aka Mitzi Del Bra), Guy Pearce as Adam (aka Felicia Jollygoodfellow), and Terence Stamp as Bernadette. The trio sets off from Sydney to perform a drag show at a remote resort in Alice Springs, where Tick's estranged wife and young son reside. Along the way, they encounter various challenges, prejudices, and colourful characters that test their resilience and bond. The journey is as much about self-discovery and acceptance as it is about the glamorous and fabulous performances they deliver. Through dazzling costumes, a pulsating soundtrack, and poignant moments, the film celebrates the power of friendship, the courage to be oneself, and the transformative magic of drag.
