"Scored to David Bowie's Berlin-era tracks — and featuring an on-screen performance by the artist himself — Christiane F. remains one of the most searing portrayals of drug addiction ever committed to film, set against the cold, dislocated cityscape of 1970s West Berlin" —Film at Lincoln Center
This movie portrays the drug scene in Berlin in the 70s, following tape recordings of Christiane F. 14 years old Christiane lives with her mother and little sister in a typical multi-storey apartment building in Berlin. She's fascinated by the 'Sound', a new disco with most modern equipment. Although she's legally too young, she asks a friend to take her. There she meets Detlef, who's in a clique where everybody's on drugs. Step by step she gets drawn deeper into the scene.
