If you loved Last Exit to Brooklyn, try Christiane F.
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Uli Edel, and they both carry the gut punch, outsider, raw mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Last Exit to Brooklyn, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Christiane F. is
Noir meets diary film as a Berlin teen’s addiction spirals from normal life into needle and neon. Berlin’s decaying underbelly becomes her stage as she bonds with fellow users and a male hustler. A harrowing snapshot of the 70s, carried by its teenage protagonist’s unflinching gaze.
