Boys in the Badezimmer


The classic 1980 German queer flick Taxi Zum Klo (aka "Taxi to the Toilet") is celebrating its 45th anniversary this November -- although it didn't hit the U.S. until October of 1981 where it played the New York Film Festival and oh to've witnessed some truly surprised biddies in that audience -- and so they've gone and given it a 4K restoration! And one does wonder why the 45th anniversary is so special but I suppose that's just how it worked out timing-wise.   Anyway! Said restoration will be getting a theatrical roll-out and it's premieiering here in NYC at the Metrograph on August 1st. So we've got that poster above (great poster) and the trailer down below to share. Not sure where it heads after NYC but this link should eventually prove helpful in figuring that out. Can you believe I only saw this movie the first time a few months ago? I'm a very bad gay.

A Badezimmer is literally the room where you take a bath, whereas a Klo (short for Klosett, as in water closet=WC) is for "waste management"...and man-on-man sex.

Yes but I was (somewhat painfully) reaching for a Boys in the Band pun ;)
