Film Review: "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"
Just when you thought there would never be an alternative to Arnoldian style action films or badly-adapted screen versions of John Grisham novels comes something totally unique from Australia, "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." Written and directed by Stephen Elliot, "Priscilla" combines in a fantastical way two seemingly unlike things: drag queens and the Australian outback. Where we were used to seeing Crocodile Dundee, appears three men, er, two men who wear women's clothing and answer to the names of Felicia (Guy Pearce) and Mitzi (Hugo Weaving), and one transsexual named Bernadette (Terence Stamp).
