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.
