Last night, at Mike’s suggestion, we watched Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It was an amusing movie. Hugo Weaving makes a very very very ugly Drag Queen, I think it’s the legs (although his face doesn’t help much).
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is a 1994 Australian film about two drag queens, and a transsexual woman driving across the outback from Sydney to Alice Springs in a large bus they have named Priscilla. The film stars Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Terence Stamp. It was written and directed by Stephan Elliott. Since its release it has became a significant cult film and will now appear as a major musical opening in Sydney, October 2006.
Although the Priscilla would probably never grace our Netflix rental list (I don’t know where we’d look to find it), it made for an enjoyable evening, highly amusing. How could you not be amused by two drag queens and a transsexual woman in full show costume (and hiking boots) walking around the Australian outback, and driving cross-country in a pink bus?
