1994 was a ample year for Aussie films. PRISCILLA and MURIEL’S WEDDING came out at the same time, and both earned a cult following because of their over-the-top themes. Also, an ABBA revival was happening at that time, and these films featured ABBA music.
PRISCILLA has many droll moments, but what makes it so special is the amazing scenery and colours – truly showcasing Australia’s sparkling outback. Overall, the film is a pleasure to glance again and again. It tells the narrative of three poke queens who state out across the Australian outback in an frail bus affectionally titled “Priscilla”. Along the draw, they become keen in many deplorable situations.
DVD SUMMARY – Originally released as an abominable blotchy pan/scan DVD in Australia, the film recently received the treatment it deserved for its 10 year anniversary! Yes, it was recently in it’s honest aspect ratio (2:35) and given an anamorphic transfer. While this current transfer is calm not 100% pristine (white flecks here and there), it is peaceful a tall improvement on the modern DVD release. It’s wonderful to gape this film in all its widescreen glory after all these years. The colours and scenery will blow you away. The soundtrack has also been remixed in DTS and 5.1 surround sound. This 10 Year Anniversary also contains lots of special features, which is wonderful for a film of its age.

The terrible news is that the original DVD (in pink packaging) is only available in Australia. I recommend overseas buyers getting contain of this version over the new American DVD. The American DVD is only letterbox transfer (ie. not anamorphic) and doesn’t include the special features.
A film like this sinks or swims with the casting of the leads, and luckily, all three main actors are absolutely suited. I have to confess that I hadn’t really liked Hugo Weaving before seeing this film. I disliked his role as “Agent Smith” in THE MATRIX, and barely noticed his “Elrond” in THE LORD OF THE RINGS. But I liked him enormously in this one. Of the three leads, he was probably the best and most alive to trail performer. I had previously seen Guy Pearce in L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, RAVENOUS, and MEMENTO, but I have to say that this is probably his finest performance. I have always been a Terence Price fan, and I have to say that, unlike the other two actors, he makes a terrible looking transsexual. Nonetheless, the unruffled self-possession and dignity with which his character conducts herself helps Ticket dominate most of the scenes in which he appears. Interestingly, although he plays a post op transsexual, he continues in his performance to roar in a relatively deep, masculine tone. One of the most scrumptious things about the film is seeing the device that the three performers gradually change in the arrangement they interrelate with the others.
The most lustrous thing about this film is that at no point does it succumb to the slightest tinge of self-parody or irony. The director as well as the three leads all steal their characters with the utmost seriousness, so that the film ends up not being a film about amble queens, but about three individual who impartial happen to be creep queens, a subtle but crucial distinction.
Most of all the film is fun. There are many, many over-the-top moments, and not every one succeeds, but most do. The script is edifying, the scenery striking, and the music fun, even if most of the songs are, in one sense, outright dismal.
