Taxi zum Klo
Synopsis
A Berlin schoolteacher and a constant cruiser, Frank even corrects homework in public toilets as he waits to score. One evening, he meets sweet-natured Bernd, who desires monogamy. Can the two tolerate each other’s habits, and for how long can Frank keep his sexual orientation out of the classroom?
Editorial
Reveling in the brief heyday between liberation and the AIDS crisis, Frank Ripploh’s unapologetically frank portrait of West Berlin’s gay scene is a pioneering work of queer cinema. Notorious for its candid depictions of male cruising, this landmark film is a vivid study of quarter-life uncertainty.
