The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (2022) (R)

synopsis

In celebration of Pride 2022, an icon of queer cinema returns to the big screen. Resplendent in flamboyant ball gowns, looking down over the vast red Australian desert: for three showgirls (Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving, and Guy Pearce) it was the dream of a lifetime, a four week cabaret engagement in Alice Springs. The problem is simply getting there intact, along with their battered, pink tour bus, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It's not easy being a drag queen in the outback! With over-the-top, Academy Award-winning costume design and a fabulous soundtrack of camp classics including Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" and ABBA's "Mamma Mia," THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT is a hilarious, vivacious comedy that celebrates community.
