New Restoration!
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 one of the greatest and most controversial gay films of the 1980s. Hilarious, shocking, hot, and thought-provoking, often all at the same time, TAXI ZUM KLO’s influence continues to reverberate through modern queer cinema—most notably in Ira Sachs’ latest film, PASSAGES.
Screening as part of our new queer series programmed and hosted by Elizabeth Purchell and KJ Shepherd, Cruising the Movies.
