Ethics in Film: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

PricillaModerator: Beth Everett

Directed by Stephan Elliott

Terence Stamp plays Bernadette, an aging transsexual who tours the backwaters of Australia with her stage partners, Mitzi (Hugo Weaving) and Adam/Felicia (Guy Pearce). When Mitzi and Felicia get an offer to perform in the remote town of Alice Springs at a casino, Bernadette decides to tag along. The threesome ventures into the outback with Priscilla, a lavender-colored school bus that doubles as dressing room and home on the road, where they encounter a number of strange characters, as well as homophobia.

Post-film discussion led by Robyn Deluca
