The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

IMDb plot summary: Two drag performers and a transgender woman travel across the desert to perform their unique style of cabaret.
Directed by Stephan Elliott. Starring Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, Terence Stamp, and Bill Hunter.

Watching this back-to-back with To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, which came out the following year, is kind of surreal, as that was essentially just a fluffier version of this movie. This one is a little bit more willing to delve into the dangers facing these characters just trying to be themselves without automatically assuming a happy ending. I don't connect as much with these characters, but it's still a really good and lovely film with some excellent dialogue. It's just hard not to compare the two back to back!
