My partner and I watched Priscilla, Queen of the Desert last night. For those who don't remember, Priscilla was one of those ridiculously colourful Australian movies of the 1990s, about three drag queens (two cis gay men and one het trans woman) who travel from Sydney to Alice Springs.  I believe there was a contractual obligation with the AFI that all Australian films of the 90s had to feature at least one ABBA number.  It has a great cast for the leads – Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp as Bernadette, the trans character.
