I loved it then and I loved it now. pThe 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. pIs 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. brYes because you have all these stereotypes and typical hilarious scene. First one thinks that is properly all. But as the bus tour gets under way and the 3 guys travel through the desert one gets to learn more and more about them, learns about the past, their experiences as gays and drag queens, their hopes, their traumas. Steps by step one learns that under all the make-up, mascarra and fake coolness that are presented to the out-side world one finds nice and decent guys. pMaybe 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 brHugo Weaving (better known for his part as Agent Smith in the "Matrix" movies and "The Lord of the Rings") plays the most "straight" part, Tick, who has a ex-wife and a little son. A father in drag? His fear how the son would react to it. Great acting when he had to confront his fears, his son and ..... no watch it how it is solved. brGuy Pearce as Adam is the most "gay" in the sense of being the most outrageous. He portraits the most of the well known clichès. But he is able to bring enormous depth and insight into his part. brMy favorite is nevertheless Terence Stamp (yes, I do mean HIM!) as the transsexual Bernadette. Dignity, a great sense of humor, depth of experience and hurt, but strong come mind seeing his acting - absolutely believable. His love story with a mechanic is wonderfully touching! pand above all: great songs and music. brI loved particuarly the scene with the aborigines. brAll your senses will be touched. p5 stars are simply not enough! Superb! July 10, 2005 14 out of 14 found this review helpful Probably the best film ever to come out of Australia!pFurther 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!pYou 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.pDon't delay, buy today! Fantastic! May 7, 2006 RM Brown (Northampton, UK) 16 out of 17 found this review helpful This is a fantastic film that everyone should watch! This is a classic film which will make you laugh out loud and cry. It has some great heart-warming scenes and makes you see things in a different light. The outfits are outrageous and fabulous and the three main actors are brilliant in their roles. With a fabulous soundtrack which will get you humming along, this film should not be missed! Camp as a row of tents March 1, 2006 Tealady2000 (Edinburgh) 14 out of 15 found this review helpful 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#x27;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 #x27;Never Been to Me#x27;. Glorious stuff. Dragtastic January 26, 2006 17 out of 19 found this review helpful This is a film for those of you who love high drama and lots of dancing. Guy Pearce (Mike from neighbours) puts in a brilliant performance as do the rest of the cast. There are lots of funny moments and the outtakes extra is ace. I recommned this to anyone who has or hasn#x27;t seen the film before. Showing reviews 1-5 of 32 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next »
