- Synopsis:
- One of the most shocking and controversial films ever made, 'Christiane F.' tells the true story of a young girl's descent into the drug scene of 70's Berlin. Christiane (Natja Brunckhorst), lonely and alienated, lives with her divorced mother. When a school friend takes her to a club where her hero David Bowie plays, she finds herself in another world, one she is desperate to be a part of. In her new environment drugs are commonplace and though frightened, her fears of rejection are greater. She begins with Valium, then LSD, until ultimately she discovers heroin. Soon addicted, she turns to prostitution to support her habit. Christiane is 14.

The Downward Spiral. - Christiane F. review by NP
A bleak and unforgiving delve into drug use, underage sex and hopelessness. It also features David Bowie both as a guest star and the focus of deadly fascination displayed by young Christiane F (superbly played by Natja Brunckhorst).
