“One of the most horrifying movies I have ever seen.”
—Roger Ebert
“CHRISTIANE F. is not just a cautionary tale — it’s a mirror held up to a society that failed its youth.”
— Der Spiegel
“Brunckhorst conveys an innocence, vulnerability, and ennui, clearly meant to shock audiences by contrast to the horrors surrounding it.”
—Screen Slate
Drenched in ‘70s grit, this cult classic is the true story of a 14-year-old girl chasing highs in the streets of West Berlin. With David Bowie, nightlife, and heroin as her escape route, she tumbles into a dark underworld — gripping, tragic, and unforgettable. New 4K restoration.
