Frank Ripploh

Frank Ripploh was a German actor, film director, and author. He is best remembered for his semiautobiographical 1980 film Taxi zum Klo. The film, produced on a shoestring budget of 100,000 DM, explored the daytoday life of a Berlin schoolteacher who also led a very active gay sex life. Extremely explicit for its day, and for some time afterward , Taxi zum Klo was considered groundbreaking for the subject matter it portrayed, and achieved something of a cult status among gay audiences of the time. In 1987, Ripploh directed a sequel entitled Taxi nach Kairo, but the film was not considered as successful as its predecessor, and it was not released outside of Germany.
