Trudeau?s Prorogation of Parliament is a Mistake He Must Be Allowed to Make Fri Jan 10, 2025 13:18 | Dr James Allan
Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

The Significance of Jordan Peterson Fri Jan 10, 2025 11:00 | James Alexander

A film about the promiscuous 80s, and about facing the ugly monster of Luuurve

DUBLIN FILM QLUB: NEW SEASON: “AROUND THE WORLD IN THE 80s”

SESSION TWO: GERMANY --- 19 NOV 2010

New Theatre, Temple Bar 3.30 pm (Doors open at 3.00) Free tea & coffee.

Day membership: 8 euro

Our screenings are followed by an open discussion.

TAXI ZUM KLO (tr. TAXI TO THE TOILET)

Dir. Frank Ripploh. 1981. 95 min. German, with English subtitles.

Script: Frank Ripploh

Starring: Frank Ripploh, Bernd Broaderup

The Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Teachers’ Association of Ireland was only launched a few years ago by a few brave souls, but they wont be showing this in a General Meting! The film tells the story of teacher Frank Ripplo —played by the director, Frank Ripplo, a small hint about the autobiographical angle... He teaches Sex Education (this is Germany, remember?), and although his pupils adore him, he is a dubious role model. Frank is an absolute slob in his personal habits, and an absolute sex-machine in his private life. No male flesh can pass him by without getting his attention, any time, any place, any position. He has one single phobia: love. Frank runs away at the speed of light from anything requiring reflection or affection, and the word ‘commitment’ sends him into cardiac arrest. So what will happen when he meets Bernd, who is gorgeous, lovely, and monogamous? "Taxi Zum Klo" was filmed before the AIDS crisis, so there is not a condom in sight – some will see this movie as a celebration of a freer time, some as a document of human folly.

(Warning: the film includes sexually graphic scenes which some Film Qlub members may find disturbing)
