Taxi zum Klo
Taxi zum Klo (Taxi to the Toilet) is a 1981 film written by, directed by, and starring Frank Ripploh. The film is a dark comedy of manners that explores the life of a Berlin school teacher and the contrasts between his public and private lives.

Shot on location with many characters appearing as themselves, the film documents gay culture in West Berlin in the brief moment post gay liberation and before the onset of AIDS, around 1980. Ripploh has stated that much of the film was autobiographical. The title refers to the public toilet as a place for casual gay sex.
