The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert [DVD]

I fell in love with this film immediately, as I did with To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar. I have many friends who are trans, and some who are drag queens. I loved the actors in this one so much! I was already a Terrance Stamp fan before watching this, so this was a complete treat for me! It tells the story of three drag performers (one of them trans) headed across the Australian Outback to do a show. It's most definitely a road film, but some very genuine, sensitive, and beautiful moments add to the saucy dialogue and make this a journey of the heart. I cannot truly pick a favorite character, because I love ALL of them! I won't spoil it for you. I can just say that this film may help shed some understanding and inspire some badly-needed compassion for our LGBTQ+ community. Yes, it's a fun story with razor-sharp wit, sassy style, and a few naughty moments--but it is also a tale about loneliness, pain, isolation, and self-doubt. I recommend this for anyone who has felt isolated from society simply for being themselves. As Quentin Crisp wrote:“In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast. Those who once inhabited the suburbs of human contempt find that without changing their address they eventually live in the metropolis.”Welcome to the metropolis, Bernadette, Mitzi, and Felicia! It's good to see you!

Very much one of my favorite movies, and in BlueRay quality. No issues at all and playback is just beautiful on my PS5 and my computer!

Over the entire family loves this movie. We wanted to make sure we own a copy in case it is never streamed. It’s got all the feels, You laughing, smiling with a full heart

WOW!! Funny, great music, stellar acting, hugs all around. Guy Pierce is the best!!! I love To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Love Julie Newmar, but Priscilla is simply amazing.

I first saw this movie in the 90s and liked it then. I have watched many times since the and it is still relevant today.Felicia, Mitzi, and Bernadette are great complicated characters trying to get from urban Sydney through rural Australia to get to some scheduled shows.The Australian landscape is great.I will continue to watch this again in the future.

If you decide to have a watch party with friends, have some ping pong balls ready to throw... you will know when!

One of my top 5 favorite movies. Been watching it since I was a kid. Love

This is perhaps the only decent DVD of this movie available. The previous no-extras release was pan-and-scan, but the print appears to have been a tad cleaner than the one used for this wide-screen edition. The extras are all right: The best is about how the film came to the big screen. The weakest is the oddly edited collection of outtakes. The "behind the scenes with..." extra is good, but it is clear that the interviews were each only a few seconds long and nothing like the extended commentary you'll hear on, say, a Peter Jackson extra. The audio commentary is probably the best thing going.All in all, if five stars is a "Isnt' that faaaaaaaaaaaaabulous?!?" and one star is a "two slags at a pie bake-off", this ranks 4.5 stars. The film alone is worth it!

Por fin, después de muchos años buscándola en formato Blu-ray ha aparecido disponible para el público mexicano. La calidad del dvd no me dejó muy satisfecho como esta versión en este formato. Al ser una pelicula de los 90's la imagen no es tan buena como lo es su sonido. En mi equipo de audio de 7.2 canales se aprecia muy bien.Las actuaciones de los tres protagonistas es realmente remarcable, sobre todo la de Mr. Terrence Stamp quien con su experiencia actoral se luce artísticamente durante todo el film. Todos los demás actores y actrices hacen igualmente lo suyo lo que hace de esta película algo remarcable. No es la típica vulgar película queer de las que tanto abundan. Contiene muchos elementos de calidad como los anteriormente mencionados, actuaciones, aspectos técnicos y producción que no repara en gastos. Es una cinta que puede ser vista en familia sobre todo donde hay adolescentes que no pueden ser afectados emocionalmente. Muy equilibrada en cuanto al tratamiento de los aspectos cómicos y dramáticos que contiene. El vestuario es espectacular y muy bien llevado por los personajes sin llegar a lo vulgar; extravagante, sí, pero de acuerdo con el fin cinematográfico buscado. El maquillaje es de mencionar, pues resulta muy adecuado al tema y no es grotesco. .a música muy disfrutable y con un buen equipo de audio lo es más. Música que va desde ABBA hasta Verdi! No es una película moralizante, es un melodrama divertido y respetuoso a la diversidad, por eso la necesidad de que sea visto en compañía de los padres. Es un film en fin, muy divertido y excelentemente bien hecho.

Hele leuke en prachtige Australische komedie met 3 super talentvolle acteurs. Een echte aanrader.

Superb DVD with extras on disc. Great film.

This film on bluray is pure gold !

J'avais vu ce film il y a plus de 10 ans à la télévision et cela m'avait fait mourir de rire.Par le plus grand des hasards, Amazon m'en fait la proposition, donc je me dis "allez pourquoi pas !"Je l'ai revu avec grand plaisir et en rigolant toujours autant.Brillantissime, virtuose, très comique, et très attendrissant.
