Cir The Eldorado, the swinging, anything-goes nightspot that gives the fresh NetflixdocumentaryEldorado its call, was an LGBTQ haven during Germany’s Weimar Republic, trendy among Berlin’s transgender population and anyone else who liked to let their hair down in public. It was also, as the film’s subtitle puts it, Everything the Nazis Hate.
