Christiane F. is one of the most horrible movies ever. All the worse that this story is based on true events. We see Christiane landing in the Heorin scene after a sad childhood and prostituting herself. A life very close to death. The basis of the Stern Reportage: a cassette recorded by a reporter with Christiane. It finally became one of the most horrible drug portraits in film history. Christiane is introduced as an ordinary teenager. She listens to rock music too loudly for her mother's taste and stays away too long. She resents her mother's new boyfriend's presence and therefore prefers to stay with her clique to drink alcohol. Christiane sees David Bowie on stage for the first time (he plays himself, returning to West Berlin for the 1982 film). Out of curiosity she takes some heroin after the concert. The story doesn't seem unusual for a city like the former Berlin Wall, but the fact that Christiane goes underground so young does! She has friends who take heroin, but doesn't listen to their warnings. Christiane believes she can control the drug. She can't. She begins to squeeze it and sell her body for it. Christiane F. describes in particular the drug culture of the Wall City, which was already admired by David Bowie. A junkie tears the needle out of Christiane's arm to stick it into his own. Christiane and her boyfriend on Cold Turkey as they vomit over each other. Innocent faces finally sitting pale in the subway stations. Perhaps the film has to be administered as a supplement to the romanticisation of West Berlin? We see the Kreuzberg of the early 80s, finally Christianes move to Neukölln in the Gropiusstadt for lack of money. A film so hard, with such powerful images and extremely realistic actors - a film that comes straight from hell!
