Christiane F. – We Children from Bahnhof Zoo a 1981 film that portrays the drug scene in West Berlin in the 1970s, following tape recordings of Christiane F.
13-year-old Christiane Felscherinow lives with her mother and little sister in a small apartment in a typical multi-storey concrete apartment building in a dull neighbourhood in the outskirts of West Berlin. She's bored and lacks things to do and is sick and tired of living there. She hears of 'Sound', a new disco in the city center, called the most modern discothèque in Europe. Although she's legally too young to go, she dresses up in high heels and makeup and asks a friend from school to take her. At the disco she meets Detlef, who is a little older. He is in a clique where everybody experiments with various drugs. At first she takes pills and LSD, but gradually becomes drawn deeper into the drugs, eventually ending up as a heroin-addict and prostitute.

Okay.. I've finally watched this movie! I was intrigued when I saw the poster of this movie in one of the many Terry Richardson photographs. I've spent days trying to download and/or stream this movie with english subtitles. I mean, for some reason the subtitles I downloaded just won't work with the video, or maybe I just can't seem to figure it out. This movie is in german. Thankfully I found an english subbed streaming link http://stagevu.com/video/wabruaqsctwl
Wow, okay.. if you expect this movie to be like Skins or Thirteen, it's way more than that. It's different. First, it's based on a true story. The book is actually an autobiography of this Christiane chick. I'd say it's closer in comparison to Requiem For A Dream but, like, the real-life teen version. So yeah, pretty rough stuff.
The Berlin drug scene in the 70s was horrifying. When I saw this movie I was like, ugh.. thisdid not really happen. This does not happen! But this stuff is very real and it happens. It started with parties, then pills and LSDs, coke, heroin, and then prostitution. This girl didn't even wanna get hooked on H. She refused. Eventually she gave in, though. Regardless of her knowing the fact that it kills. It was happening all around her.
It was all fun and games until she started to get hooked. Heroin is just serious shit. First it was the high that'll make you want more, but after some time your body will need it even though you don't necessarily want it anymore. You don't just quit using it, because it'll make you really sick. If you keep using though, you'll die.
Her boyfriend did sexual favors for older guys in exchange for money to buy H. Can you imagine? Before, she swore she wouldn't do any of that but, she gave in because that's the easiest, fastest way to get money. All out of desperation. She had no other choice. Youhave to watch the movie. It sounds boring out of my mouth, but you'll see for yourselves just how terrifying life was for those kids. And it was all their doings. Trust me, after seeing the movie ya'll will be grateful for your lives! Stay off drugs!!
