Synopsis
A gay schoolteacher tries to balance his newfound relationship with his compulsive addiction to cruising public toilets for sex in this fearlessly semi-autobiographical debut from writer/director/star Frank Ripploh. Seized by customs and banned in several countries upon its original release, TAXI ZUM KLO is both one of the greatest and most controversial gay films of the 1980s — hilarious, shocking, hot, and thought-provoking, often all at the same time. Paired with Chicago filmmaker Henry Hanson’s 2022 queer film festival favorite short, BROS BEFORE.
