"The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert - Stephan Elliot (1994)"

A fun, enjoyable film, mainly interesting because it allowed me to see three actors do something completely different than what I'm used to seeing them do. My only real exposure to Terence Stamp was through Soderbergh's The Limey, Hugo Weaving I knew as Agent Smith in The Matrix and Guy Pearce from his roles in L.A. Confidential and Memento. All three were great in their respective parts, and all three are fantastic here in polar opposite roles. Pearce's role is a little more one-dimensional than the others, but Stamp and Weaving really get a chance to stretch out and have some fun. Stamp in particular was very impressive, he really pulled it off. Technically the movie is pretty straightforward, although there's some nice photography of the Australian outback.
