Movie Reviews of Christiane F.

Movie Review: THIS FILM IS A MUST!
Summary: 5 Stars

I first saw and heard "Wir Kinderen Vom Banhof Zoo" when I was a child and I will never forget the impact it had on me. Beyond the obvious "Dare to Keep Kids Off Drugs" message, this film and music are a bittersweet snapshot of a tantilizing, tragic, and triumphant era gone by as captured so beautifully in Bowie's epic song "Heroes." Watching it now in a new millenium it still packs the same punch it did twenty years ago. Although it is unfortunate that a sub-titled edition has not yet been released, the original German language version is a must for anyone who ever lived on the edge and survived to tell about it. Regardless of what language you speak, you'll understand.

Movie Review: Captivating
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie was so great, aside from the Pippi Longstocking-esque over dubbing. The movie is in German so they have this emotionless woman translating.
I thought it was more of a documentary before I watched it. Normally in a situation like this I would be disappointed to see that it's an actual drama, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The scenes were so realistic and you really got a feel for how it must have been in Berlin in the late 70's drug scene.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
I can't wait to get the book!

Movie Review: Too bad about the bad dubbing; try region 2
Summary: 5 Stars

When the Region 2 version (UK) of this film became available two years ago, I jumped at it, knowing that I had set my old computer DVD player to region 2. Now that I've found that the American release is slightly shortened and is only dubbed, I'm thankful that I ordered my copy from amazon.co.uk! The UK version is in the original German and has excellent subtitles...

If you have a region 2 player, I'd suggest visiting amazon's sister site... My five stars relates to the UK release...


Movie Review: THE BEST MOVIE CONCERNING HEROIN ADDICTION EVER MADE
Summary: 5 Stars

this movie is a must to see HOWEVER if possible PLEASE try to obtain the UK version so that you can watch this in german with English subtitles.IT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE and the US version is also cut a little here and there. I have watched both version of this movie and the english overdubs are horrible. I fell for Natja Brunckhorst in a big way in this movie. THIS IS A MUST to see-check it out

Movie Review: Still shocking after all these years
Summary: 5 Stars

I first saw this movie as a teenager. Its raw gritty truthful protrayal of drug abuse stuck with me through the years. When my son was a young teen I had him watch it as well. To this day, he still has vivid memories of this movie. The book is equally as impacting, yet harder to find.
