Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)








Starring two well-known Australian actors, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving (Matrix), this film is a comedy of errors which follows the story of two drag queens and a transsexual as they attempt to cross Australia in an effort to reach Alice Springs, where they will be performing in a cabaret show. The movie deals with issues of homophobia and discrimination in a refreshing and reflective manner designed to get the audience to think about these issues, yet using a very fun and flamboyant way to spread the message.
