 OZ CINEMA.com : Reviews : The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
The chemistry between the three characters is palpable at times as they bicker their way through the desert landscape in Priscilla, a run-down old bus.
The overwhelmingly gaudy costumes of the drag queens is juxtaposed with the rich reds of the sunburnt plains on a number of occasions, giving rise to glorious, saturated shots that recall the images of isolation presented by Nicholas Roeg in Walkabout (1971).
Priscilla has become an important film in the study of Australia's portrayal of sexuality on film, as it is one of the first films, along with Love and Other Catastrophes (1995) and The Sum of Us (1994), to celebrate homosexuality rather than to employ it as a shallow, humorous device.

 A Lighthearted `Priscilla'
`The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'' is an episodic story of three drag queens from Sydney -- one of them actually a transsexual -- making their way into the interior of Australia in a garishly painted bus they've dubbed Priscilla.
Drag queens tend to be extremely lighthearted when they're looking at other people, but when they look at themselves you often get ``Torch Song Trilogy.'' This film has the confidence to poke fun, affectionately, at the world of drag, its aesthetic and its pretensions.
Nondrag queens may have trouble understanding how the sight of a man standing on top of a bus dressed as a woman, with pink smoke blowing all around him and opera music blasting, qualifies as a decisive and enormously amusing aesthetic statement.
