THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT
It's the Australian film that blitzed overseas box offices. It caused a near riot at the Cannes Film Festival. It won an Academy Award. It's fun, daring, over-the-top and unforgettable. It's a road movie with attitude and the occasional frock.
A comedy that will change the way you think, the way you feel, and most importantly ... the way you dress.
