A decade on, Stephan Elliott's drag-queens-in-the-Outback comedy remains the cuddly, something-for-everyone empress of Aussie camp.
Full reviewAustralian drag-queen, road-trip classic about three friends (two drag queens and a transsexual) who head to Alice Springs to put on a stage show extravaganza. Stars Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp.
On their way to perform a cabaret gig for a hotel resort, Anthony (Weaving), Adam (Pearce) and Bernadette (Stamp) are constantly halted by odd characters, beautiful landscapes, an unreliable vehicle (named Priscilla) and a heavy amount of prejudice. The film is a comedic cultural clash that destroyed the Australian box office and won the Oscar for Best Costume Design.
