Stephan Elliot wrote and directed this tale about the adventures of three Drag Queens and how they make their way through Australian desert. More than a road movie or a musical comedy, Priscilla is about challenging your own fears and ghosts. Funny and extravagant, Priscilla could be seen as a silly movie, but it is not! The excellent work of Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp gave the characters the power to go beyond stereotypes. Lizzy Gardiner's outrageous costumes won the 1994 Oscar for best costumes design. Another wonderful thing about "Adventures of Priscilla" is the outstanding soundtrack, nearly as memorable as the movie: a great collection of torch songs, disco classics and romantic ballads. Feel free to sing along, but don’t forget…
