Abridged Book Description[]
One of the first films to celebrate the "fabulous" nature of the drag queen, Priscilla shocked the cinema-going world by featuring venerable British actor Terence Stamp as Bernadette, and out-and-out boa-wearing transsexual... Even if you are not fascinated by drag queens (who can be a rich confection at the best of times), the visuals in Priscilla (which is, by the way, the name of the bus) are heavily cinematic... Joyous and poignant, Priscilla gives us a rare glimpse behind the drag queen guise to see the real people within.
