Christiane F (Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo)


If you haven't seen this movie I highly recommend it.

I seem to have a penchant for drug movies and Christiane F is one of the best I've seen.

The story centres around Christiane who is fourteen and bored, she starts doing drugs and hangs out in an underground train station with some older boys before getting involved in prostitution and eventually becoming a heroin addict.



The more strung out these kids get the more attractive they seem to become. I find the whole story (which is based on the life of real life Christiane F) fascinating.

Plus, David Bowie makes a cameo. What more could you ask for?
