The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

1994

Directed by Stephan Elliott

Finally, a comedy that will change the way you think, the way you feel, and most importantly... the way you dress.

Two drag queens and a transgender woman contract to perform a drag show at a resort in Alice Springs, a town in the remote Australian desert. As they head west from Sydney aboard their lavender bus, Priscilla, the three friends come to the forefront of a comedy of errors, encountering a number of strange characters, as well as incidents of homophobia, whilst widening comfort zones and exploring new horizons.

I loved 90% of this but what the fuck was that stuff with Cynthia
Review by Leonora Anne Mint 11

DONATE HERE: www.pcrf.net
Pros:
- Super fun.
- A smart depiction of queer people in a rural setting.
- Heartwarming messages about how queer people can be good parents & overcoming internalized homophobia.
- Cool trans lady character complete with righteous anger.
- ABBA!
Cons:
- Trans woman played by cis man.
- Weird running joke about deadnaming the trans character.
- Exhausting racist-as-fuck subplot goes on forever.
- Too visually distinctive and fun to remake easily, forcing us to sit through the deadnaming and racism because the rest of it is actually good.
