Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo (Uli Edel, 1981) This slightly romanticized adaptation of the infamous novel of the same name is one of the most hard-hitting films I’ve ever seen. 13-year-old Natja Brunckhorst give a mind-blowing as Christiane - who was in fact 12 in real life - in this film that features tons of heroin use, underage prostitution, a great performance by David Bowie, a gruesome scene of quitting cold turkey and much more, all set against the vibrantly photographed drug/club scene of West Berlin in the 1970s. To say this is recommended is an understatement: this is an obligatory dose of despair you won’t be able to look away from.
