Priscilla:
Queen of the Desert DVD
The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert is proof that
sometimes all you need for a good time is the right friends, the right
music, and the right outfits! In an acting turn hailed by Rolling
Stone as "one of the best performances of the year",
Terence Stamp plays Bernadette, a drag queen about to relive her
theatrical glory days with two young friends on one wild road trip.
Billed for a gig in rural Alice Springs (smack in the middle of
Australia), the trio hits the highway in a bus dubbed
"Priscilla". Their act might fly in civilized Sydney, but the
outrageous costumes, disco music and dancing is getting some pretty
interesting feedback at every stop along the way. Bernie, Mitzi and
Felicia are finding out that you can't shock anyone these days- but you can have fun trying! 102 min

Treading
Water DVD
Casey is a longshorewoman who seems to have everything she wants; she
lives on a boat with her beautiful social worker girlfriend Alex, and they
are very much in love. But there's nothing like the holidays to bring out
the drama of the average family. Casey has rejected her privileged
upbringing and restores old boats for a living just across the bay from
her upper crust New England family. The proximity seems no accident: Casey
can't quite let go, despite her family's judgmental and inescapable hold
on her otherwise independent and unconventional life. When the family
reunites for Christmas, the unwrapping of presents takes a back seat to
the unraveling of emotions. Beautifully filmed on the New England coast,
Director Lauren Himmel uses great care in avoiding stereotypes and clichés
to fashion a tender, subtle, tense and sometimes funny look at repression
and the idea of family. Starring: Angela
Redman, Nina Handey 95 Minutes
