5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Adventures Of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert [DVD] [1994] (DVD)
Probably the best film ever to come out of Australia!Further to the previous review, this film is a road movie meets feel good movie with comedy and issues thrown in. The casting is inspired, (when I saw that Guy Pierce of Neighbours was in it as a drag queen......well!), but he steals the show as the bitchy Felicia. Terence Stamp as the transexual Bernadette and Hugo Weaving, (Agent Smith - Matrix & Elrond - Lord of the Rings), are also both excellent! You don't have to be "that way inclined" to enjoy this movie. I'm as straight as they come and I enjoyed every minute. If you're feeling down - watch this film, it'll pick you up in no time. Don't delay, buy today!

Camp as a row of tents,

This review is from: The Adventures Of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert [DVD] [1994] (DVD)
This is a wonderful film that will make you laugh out loud but still bring a lump to your throat. Three drag queens set out from Sydney in a bus called Priscilla to do a show in the outback - but this is much more than your average road movie. The performances are first rate, the bitchiness is unsurpassed and the cinematography is absolutely superb - it's as if the vibrant colours of the Australian outback were custom made as a backdrop for the garish costumes and make-up of our heroes. And for any Lord of the Rings fans it is worth watching this movie simply to see Hugo Weaving (Elrond) singing 'Never Been to Me'. Glorious stuff.

The best queer movie ever - but not just for gays,
By
This review is from: The Adventures Of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert [DVD] [1994] (DVD)
I saw this wonderful movie years ago and yesterday I got a s gift the DVD. I loved it then and I loved it now. The plot is fairly easy: Two drag queens and a transsexual get a cabaret gig in the middle of the desert and travel from Sydney to Alice Spring. On their journey they collide with small town citizens, aborigines and tourists. Is this just one of these a typical gay movies? Gays in drag and a lot of hilarious scenes? Yes and NO at the same time. Maybe all this is portrait in such a great way because the three principal actors are straight, but are able to create sympathetic gays with characters and above all: great songs and music. 5 stars are simply not enough!
