Christiane F Is Arguably the Most Disturbing Anti-Drug Movie Ever Made
Uli Edel's Christiane F. remains the most compelling anti-drug movie on record.
Released in 1981, Christiane F. is the most harrowing and horrifying anti-drug movie ever made. Directed with unflinching realism by Uli Edel, the movie tells the crushing true story of Christiane Felscherinow (Natja Brunckhorst), a 13-year-old girl looking to escape her life of boredom in West Berlin in 1975. Upon frequenting a local disco with her friends, Christine's recreational drug use soon devolves into a destructive heroin addiction that she can neither resist nor get a hold of despite knowing better.
