5 out of 5 stars Welcome to Hell   May 7, 2007
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is a brilliant but nightmarish film.Based on a sequence of articles by two German journalists,later made into a book,it shows the decline of a teenage girl as she enters the drug subculture of West Berlin in the 1970s.The actors are mainly amateurs,but they come up with impressive performances.br /The soundtrack by David Bowie(who lived in Berlin in the late 1970s)is great,with the jolly,optimistic sound of "Heroes" at the start,then,as the film goes on,being replaced by the eerie electronic sounds of the "Low" and "Heroes" albums.His own cameo performing a fine rendition of "Station to Station"is worth a watch too.br /If you have teenage children,it will be your worst nightmare come true,but you may find they enjoy it too(my 17 year old neice thought it was great).

I found out that the actors were actually that young - wow....It's an old movie, yet worth seeing it.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent authentic   February 12, 2006
  8 out of 8 found this review helpful

An excellent film about the descent into drug addiction of a 14 year old girl living on a Berlin housing estate - from a beautiful girl to a drug-crazed zombie lookalike.brIt all rings horribly true and the characters are all extremely likeable, which makes the story all the more horrific. The acting, the photography, the scripting, and the direction are all first class. Definitely 5 stars.


5 out of 5 stars still shocks, despite the awful dubbing   October 29, 2004
  7 out of 9 found this review helpful

I first saw the film in its original version in Germany and when I bought the video at home in the UK I was horrified at the hideous and clumsy Americanised dubbing. brI really felt that it detracted from the ability of this film to portray the reality and the meaning of physical addiction, let alone the brilliant performances of the young German actors involved. pI am not sure if any of the dialogue has been tidied up for the re-issue, personally, I would like to hope so - but despite this Christiane F remains a must-see for all teenagers and their parents/carers.

I still consider that the viewing of this film at the cinema some twenty years ago was the main reason I stayed on the straight and narrow.brAlthough slightly dated now, the message remains powerfully the samepEVERY school kid should me made to watch this film at about the age of 15 (The 18 rating is also dated - this needs reclassifying)
