Priscilla's just a bus; Mitzi, Felicia, and Bernadette are her passengers, two female impersonators and a transsexual (the gaunt Hugo Weaving, the muscle-bound Guy Pearce, and the grande damish Terence Stamp), who take their cabaret act out of the cosmopolitan security of Sydney and into the backward Outback. There's a lot of flaunting and posturing (Froot Loops for breakfast, a request at a video store for "The Texas Chainsaw Mascara"), and little concern for plausibility (mid-song changes of costume in the climactic stage show), and yet there's the occasional, throat-clearing interjection of Hard Realities ("AIDS Fuckers Go Home!" graffitied on the bus during a stopover in a jerkwater town). The taste in music is educationally arcane: when, for instance, was the last time you heard "I've Never Been to Me"? Written and directed by Stephan Elliott. (1994) — Duncan Shepherd
