Christiane F.

[jazzsnazz]

been clean for almost 3 years

[channelzs008]

oh god 0.0 marijuana is my only friend

[peaemiliepea]

i cant explain what this movie does to me. it kinda makes me really depressed, but it makes me want to become a junkie just to try it.

the book and the movie changed my life completly. its terrifying but amazing.

just hearing the songs from the movie gives me this wierd kinda.. emotion or something.

[jackie13th]

this movie made me feel so uncomfortable, but i just had to watch the entire thing.

[Raayanne100]

caraaai maaan qq. baguii feeeio ú.u qq. triiiiiste *-*

[santadiabla23]

quiero conseguirla, esta muy buena!!!

[barbaraaa96]

Saw this movie a year after I got clean. It's really realistic.

[ninoiphone12]

I think the film isn't nearly als good as the book.

And for the drugs topic:

I can see how kids grow up in total abstenence of any type of drug at all. And they are told that they are strong because they just say no. But think of who's stronger, the kid that doesn't even know what he/she is missing or the former alcoholic who can stop at 2 drinks. I think everyone should be able to try anything he wants. Because when your 40 and you have a great job, you won't have the chance anymore.

[ninoiphone12]

@ninoiphone12

There are some exceptions though, personally i would never touch:

- Heroine (morfine)

- Crack

- Meth

- Speed (not for danger i just don't like the effect)

When you just try somethings and don't use them on a regular base, some are acceptable. Say Cocaine, very dangerous and addictive but 1 try shouldn't hurt. Siggarettes are the most addictive drug avaidable but i have never seen someone get addicted after 1. Live your life but be carefull.

[perissos21r]

@ninoiphone12 you are idiot,and you re almost 15 years old on your brain.learn first and after speak dickhead

[ninoiphone12]

@perissos21r you may want to correct your spelling and grammar before trying to insult someone. The only thing I did is say my opinion. Isn't that what this page is for? Everybody has their own opinion and i can't call anyone an adult before one has learned to respect and try to understand other opinions than just his own. And if you don't like someone els his opinion, discuss it. But do not try insult people, so that they will back of and agree with yours. And you call me a kid?

[DougglesMagnificent]

@ninoiphone12 you dont know much about drugs though you're trying

[edshift]

@ninoiphone12 I get what you're saying and it would be great if it were true but there are no former alcoholics that can stop at two drinks.

Addiction can only be mastered by abstinence.

Drugs are fine for that part of the population that dabble in stuff and move on but if your the sort of the person that tends to get really into whatever pastime and immerse yourself in the culture it will have a negative effect.

You may still judge it worth it in the very long term. Mileage will vary.

[gurteen113]

I saw this film in Germany when I was 14 on an exchange visit, I have never tried drugs after watching it, and i love david Bowie

[Foxx1981]

One of the best youth genre films I've seen. Absolutely great in capturing the atmosphere of such a horrid life story.

A+

[gotwonderland]

as long as you don't ever do crack, meth or heroin and take it easy with the coke, I think everybody should experience drugs. It's life changing.

[xcineguy101]

Yeah, the movie's amazing, and then you try searching every possible corner of the earth to find the book, and in the end you realize that it was worth it

[BartRamone]

Heroin is nasty, like ICE or crack. But I still want to sniff a line to see whats the trip like.

[brianaD8]

@BartRamone ME TOO! i thought i was the only one who still wants to experience things for myself even though i see the bad results i thought i was crazy AND i still want to try LSD to see what the trip is like i mean ive heard stories but i still want to see

[BartRamone]

@brianaD8 LSD is the best : ) , it kills you with laughs.

[floriswazza]

@brianaD8 you should. it was lifechanging to me in a good way

[petaloudos200]

wow movie exelent!!!!

[erikosarie1]

Saw this in school today, I am 14, fuck I am never gunna do drugs! :s

[melinaloveyouto]

wow this is old i remember seeing this movie when i was 10 man it scard me strait :))))))

[MetallicSisters]

The quality was real bad ! But I don't regret ever watching this, it made me learn ALOT on drug abuse. I still don't get why some people idolize Christiane F ! She relapsed and her kid was taken in charge by the state. Really a dumb woman...

[TheCroatiansea]

Is Detlef still alive? It says in the book that he's in jail.

[TheCroatiansea]

The best thing about these kind of books or movies is to know that it all happened.

[iamthecooltype]

It's scary to think about that this actually does happen to people.

And even some real young ones who doesn't even takes the chance to really live and enjoy. I know my life isn't perfect, I have my ups and downs as well but would never ever consider drugs, alcohol or anything - I would only make things worse! Instead of focusing on the real issue they create another which gives them (at least) TWO big problems.

However this movie is terrifying but good at teaching people a life lesson.

[fdhsjkdhfkdsf]

loved the movie and want to read the book so bad!!

[mastersin77]

i have the america book and the english book. i paid well over $70 for both of them

[asss4672]

Christiane Fudida

[yurikomuro]

I love this film very much and have watched it over and over again. I just love the setting, the music, the characters. I especially enjoy seeing what Germany is like in this period, what people are like etc. The story is pretty simple, girl in her puberty gets into drugs, hangs with druggies, and pretty cliche. Again the mood and setting of this film is just perfect.

[WhaleSperm]

Damn I've been trying to look for the book everywhere. Anyone know a good place of where I could find the English version of it? I found it on Ebay for $12; in french so if you know french, [I hate you] :D

[macekmacek]

I'm on citalopram and alprazolam now occasionaly taking codeine.

Glad to be off needle and that shit fentanyl. The worst opioid of all.

Shame that it's so hard to get on methadone here...

[NinnXx]

@RiffChris

Maybe not, but you can't see David Bowie in a book *.* :D

[kessiswan]

My name is Kessi and I'm named after a character in the book...whoop!

[imagodtoya]

Oops, I meant to say 'Dogs in space', a brilliant Australian film based on a really life punk band and Drug use. Not a happy ending.

The main actor is the late great Michael Hutchence, and we all know how sad his life ended.

[Fronlax]

70's, drugs and youth? That's where I should belong :)

[imagodtoya]

'Requiem for a Dream' - Great movie.

'Christiane F' - Sublime.

[plplplplomg]

@imagodtoya i thkn kinda opposite cos for me rfad is way to exagorated in many scences

[imagodtoya]

@plplplplomg Thats my point. I enjoyed watching RFAD but I was constantly reminded while watching it how much more powerful and real Christiane F is and for all that think RFAD is the greatest movie showing the effects of Heroin. Wrong. watch 'Christiane F'. Unfortunately Christiane F ain't as popular.

Also 'Dog from space' is another film that in pretty much unknown but a far better example of Heroin usage with a sad ending.

[plplplplomg]

@imagodtoya hmmh, forget it it looks like i didnt know exact meaning of Sublime word cos i totally agree with you...

[fulgore112]

Comparing books to films is stupid.

[adegamisoumounopano]

probably the most raw, graphic and hard hitting heroin junkie movie out there..yet so obscure and unknown!! too bad.. they really should have dubbed this in English to give it more exposure. the common American is allergic to subtitles and therefor refuses to watch it

I've smoked and snorted heroin quite a few times.. never shot it, and hopefully never will... but the drug is so evil that you are under its spell before you know it. chose your friends wisely people.

[Gerholl07]

H is not a joke..

[fleamarket3000]

I do plenty o' drugs but I never tried smack and crack for obvious reasons. This film should be shown to all children to show them the grim tragic realities of heroin abuse. The direction and performances are stunning, it's one of those one-offs that can never be replicated and everyone involved fades into relative obscurity (apart from king Bowie obviously). One of it's strengths is showing how a tab of Acid or a toke of reefer is a whole other world to the horror of 'H'

[kuona007]

This movie scared me to death on the 'drug'part. No life-experience missed there!

[rscaboy1100]

i have the movie and is a movie cry 14years old and drugs

this movie must evrybody seen what happning

if you deal drugs

[MsRastaRimer]

I loved the book.. have yet to see the movie. Another reason why I stick to weed!

[Bixya95]

14 anni persi

[TaniiTania]

anyone know where i can c this movie?

[ViddyWell1987]

I love this movie heroin can make you feel the best youve ever felt or the worst youv ever felt

[vitorteclado]

THe Classic of World!!!!!!!!!!

[paulovictorbrazil]

i LOVE this song, this movie and the book!

[macekmacek]

when I saw this film for the first, I realised that I would try opiates some day.

now I'm addicted to fentanyl, methcathinone and heroin. of course I use them intravenously.

life is a shit.

[KalikaInLeather]

@macekmacek yeah weird how we DO KNOW it's shit, and the book/movie do show it, but some ppl just know and feel it's gonna have to be a part of their lives... Christiane said it in the book "at one point, you just know you're in for trying heroin"

[Castanedaria]

@macekmacek life isnt shit, the shit is the way you think about your life, i knew it the same way like you did after seeing that film, was addicted for long 20 years, (15 on Morphium iv), anyway to many of my friends the film wasnt daunting, i would say as a ex junkie if wanna show films about Drugs, show them "Requiem of a Dream", that film is daunting for real, it was horrible to watch for me and i was still on the needle back there, today im fine and of course its worth to fight for it

[DivyaPreity4ever]

einer der besten filme aller zeiten

[runirvana]

i will watch it soon :):):)

[wouterthebmxer]

does anybody know the song ?

[TheThroney]

david bowie - heroes

[LoxyMusic]

HEROES - david bowie

[Luusch3]

based on a true story!! very sad isn´t it?

[JustForMyLover]

Yes,Drugs Can Kill..I know too

Only i did a promise too myself and i keep it!

[Sgiles13]

The book was fantastic! Very hard to find.

[nicolaslemon]

Great movie!!!

[xxcaityxxo]

wow, i wana see the movie

<3

[belgiumtim94]

it is on youtube avaible ;)

[sidandmoi]

The best film I have ever seen. Watched it over 20 times, never gets old

[alldaytubin]

Incredible movie. Now I want to read the book.

[sladder87]

warum fallen die in diesen einkaufsgängen eigentlich immer hin auch druff oder wa ??

[collilicious1]

weils spaß macht ;)

[MrGanglion]

weil die alle vollkommen aufem trip sind? die ham vorher lsd, x und age durcheinander genommen^^

[sladder87]

@MrGanglion Okay hab ich nich drauf geachtet alles klar danke

[pogogiraffe]

@MrGanglion

Das heisst nicht "age", sonder H, die Abkürzung für Heroin.

[MrGanglion]

also ich kenn das nur als lautmalerischen "code". aus dem englischen H einfach das gleichlautende "age" zu machen.

außerdem klingt "Zeitalter" cooooler ;D

[tg01965]

so ist das Leben auf der Straße !!!!!!!!!!

[StfuNao]

wow gangster

[hahasoofunnysoohaha]

i've read the book can't wait to watch the movie

the book is such an eye-opener

[RiffChris]

When you'e read the book, the movie isn't really THAT good...

[spanishaustralian]

why is that, whats so good about the book?

[Mackeroo100]

I would agree - book is a lot better than the film and the film is still pretty good.

The book describes her efforts to wean herself off smack in a lot more detail and you get more of a feel of the desperation that she felt.

I always thought the cliche that 'the book is better than the film' was shit until I read Wir Kinder Vom Bhof Zoo

[gothicaloticaxx]

@RiffChris i want to read the book so badly! the cheapest i could find it was on amazon for 42 bucks. :((

[jhchouston]

Wow, I love this song!

[sk8er11224]

BOWIE FOR LIFE!

[mapitar]

This movie shit scared me away from drugs. I was 14 then and had never tried anything and I know I have not missed "a life experience". I found it at my video club and I don't think my mother ever watched it, I don't think she would have found it "appropiate". I would show it to every teen I know! I thank the producers, David Bowie and all the people involved in it's realization and distribuition.

[ricaro2]

where i livei see that movie in every party i go. it's actually kind of funny

[getthis162001]

@ricaro2 hahah...where do you leave East London??

[ricaro2]

i live in tijuana my friend

[KaptajnKaffe]

it´s all about what drug you think about, things like heroin, cocaine,amphetamine and such is not good.

But other drugs like caffeine, alcohol, marijuana aren´t that bad and you can function even you use it =)

many who use alcohol and marijuana are actually in pretty high job =D

[Love60sMusic]

doesn't matter. depends on person. i can tell from experience with drugs and lots of alcohol. some people can't handle alcohol or marijuana, because most people use it, doesn't mean they are rich, good, smart or whatever.

[maksymalny]

@mapitar book is soooo much better, read it bro

[joshrawks21]

@mapitar Where can I watch the movie please answer!

[H3RM3S78]

I saw this movie when i was around 10 years old. I thought it was very good and all. I should see it again and probably read the book.

[gigisandiego96]

The book is GREAT! I read the book 20 years ago--I had never heard of it, picked it up at a garage sale. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN.

[elsa197]

I love that book!! and movie is awsome.. (:

[Stuhl1990bein]

The movie and the book are very good......

[eyewoodsay]

book good to....true story

[proto1type]

Does anybody know anything about the boy who played the part of Detlev. His real name is Thomas something (not much help there, sorry). I've heard he got a degreein Physics and is working on research into fibre optics or some shit like that.

[mistouko]

look at "The Thomas Haustein & Detlev Appreciation Society" in facebook

[sofija95]

I know he is Thomas Haustein, but I didn't know he has physics problems.

[AmpegV4]

@proto1type He is alive and well, there was an article and interview with him in this months issue of vice

[dancingbearfilms]

@proto1type there was just an article about him in Vice Magazine.

[misomilk]

@proto1type pick up the lastest vice magazine or go to the website. he's alive and well and works couseling drug addicted teens. theres an interview with him in the magazine.

[tiredfieldmouse]

@proto1type Yes, Thomas Haustein.He hasn't done any acting since Christiane F. which is a shame.He is such a babe! I'd love to know what he looks like now...handsome and Brainy aye ;-)

[mchelo18]

One of the top books of my life.

The film was very important to me as well, but I must've read the book ten times when I was a teenager....

Also, through the book and film, I discovered David Bowie. Most certainly a life altering event. :-)

[BlackMagicChannel]

yeah, the movie is a masterpiece, but the book is very good, too

[FGRimmi]

echt guter film

[TheKristinaKitty]

I just watched this for the first time. And WOW..! What a movie

[methandmarijuana]

this film is an absolute masterpeice :)

[Walrusette]

erm - the real christiane f was an advisor on the film. So I doubt she found it shit.

[ilovesoccer08]

im not saying it was shit! i said i didnt like it. god sorry i have my own opinion. i just liked the book way better.

[alfriendo2008]

Does anybody know where she is now? I know she moved to Amersterdam and that she returned to Berlin in 2008 and that she is on a methadone program.

But how is she?

[MissAlissa90]

i think she is on "H" again

[alfriendo2008]

Thats so so sad to hear. The pain she must feel?

Thanks anyway.

[fatboy3516]

Such a sad film, at 13/14 I was playing with toys and Christiane is out there doing 'H' and into prositution! A truely very sad film.

[sk8er11224]

umm.............. dont do drugs

[Gruehn]

but do weed^^

[kleineMii]

Also das Buch ist echt gut. Ich hab das glaub ich schon fünf mal gelesen. Aber den Film fand ich überhaupt nicht gut.

[Wiebchen28]

Das Buch ist echt geschrieben, der Film dagegen ist echt schlecht und total lahm und langatmig.

Auch ich kann nur abraten, erst das Buch zu lesen und dann den Film zu gucken.

Eine Enttäuschung.

[Walrusette]

The film is not shit! Considering the actors weren't professional! Also, the real Christiane was an advisor on the film.

[hortensecoltrane]

i love this film

[goofymusic]

Bin so alt wie Christiane und bin immer im Sound gewesen hab das elend live gesehen war starke Zeit aber nur wenn man stark genug war den Vesuchungen zu wiederstehen

[diirtydiiamond]

der film is super , das buch ebenfalls.

[paolobernardini]

check this article by times magazine '81:

"The book and film have increased interest in drugs in this city. Kids who come to visit used to ask to see the Berlin Wall. Now they want to see the Zoo Station."

[Boschpils2008]

ich hab erst den film geschaut und dann das Buch gelesen...2 mal xD

finde beides genial^^

[belgiumtim94]

damn...this film is so sad :(

[juju44359]

Ich habe das Buch gelesen ( bin fast fertig ) und möchte auch den film sehn. Ist der "gut" ???

[Quarki210]

jep, ist sehr gut!

[kaffeekaenchen]

nein!

wenn du das buch gelesen hast, kann ich dir vom film nur abraten! ich hab den fehler gemacht und den film gesehen. nachher dachte ich nur: "die 2 stunden hättest du dir sparen können."

ich war total enttäuscht weil das buch der hammer war und der film eher mittelmäßig bis schlecht.

[eyewoodsay]

watched this at abc cinema rochdale when it first came out..went on a week nite..so it was nearly empty except for a few shadowy figures..i was by myself..i had a lebense joint actual watchin the movie..their was smoke in the air..and nobody hassled me....not like today...it was great in the olden days...more freedom...great movie memory...

[zgirie]

buch is immer besser

[FreeStyL2oo8]

Das Buch is besser.!

[fkokaphi]

Ich bewillige ^^

[fkokaphi]

Fest. Da Buch ist mehr aufschlussreich. [Ich entschuldige für meine Deutsch]

[TrytoFlee]

das stimmt.

[kackedu]

das buch ist wirklich besser ;]

[lines80]

voll die shorebobs;)hahaha!!!!verkaufen­ für 5 euro ihre eigene mudda!scheiss junkies!!!!

[Quarki210]

na wie gut, dass es noch so vernünftige menschen wie dich gibt.

[RedHotChiliPepper304]

das buch ist besser...

[amuitattot]

Wo kann ich diesen Film finden?

[MalgorzatkaOi]

in my opinion, this song doesn't fit to this trailer . it's too happy, whereas the film is set , somehow, to warn against drugs. on the other hand the song is really enjoyable. (;

[Whoopi2009]

guter Trailer, bin begeistert

[y1a2r3e4l5y]

she looks like natalie portman in the professional

[MondoBeno]

This movie was forgotten for years until it came back on DVD.

I found a copy on VHS in 1997 at a video store that stocked lots of old titles. It was one of the last independent video stores in Manhattan after Blockbuster put them all out of business.

[bethsnails]

this looks like a really good film. wish i could see it!

[betharemynameis]

does anyone know where i can watch this online?

[luvinthesims234]

I watched this film when i was about 11 (i hadn't a clue what it was at first) and i gotta say it did a better job to convince me never to do drugs than any of them stupid goverment advertisments. I think all kids should be made to watch this

[luvinthesims234]

Rude much? you go fuck yourself you sack of shit

[inflatablewhores]

This is the only drug movie I can recall that absolutely, in no way glamourizes drugs at all. They succeed in making heroin use look disgusting.

[aBBiTeufelchen]

das ist wirklich der horror. ich habb das buch gelesen, was die alles für h machen.

zuletzt hat christiane f. wieder schlagzeilen gemacht: sie wurde wieder drogenabhängig und musste ihren sohn zu pflegeeltern geben.

you really must read the book, its telling the whole story of the kis from the zoo.

poor child.

[anagomca]

does anybody knows where can i download free a descent version of the movie?

i'm not in the u.s.a., i'm in mexico, so i think it will be difficult to find it here :S

[inflatablewhores]

BitTorrent.

[anagomca]

THANKS!!!

[sampl9]

wieso kann ich verdammtnochmal ein interview von der sehn unzwar wo die schon älter is vll 30 40 die war doch mal bei stern tv oder sowas maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan `-´

[Nadidetermig]

The first time i saw it, i was 12 or 13 (i'm 16 now) and its been my favorite movie ever since.

[kiwijulz]

i saw the movie when i was 17, i'm going to watch it again as i'll understand more now i'm older.

[nicetingeling]

Owh .. the movie is soooo scary .. and when you see it you can see all the bad things with to take drugs - the reality. and the movie is amazing!! you shall see the movie!!

[KalikaInLeather]

you'd better read the book: soo much better, and even scarier: more facts, just the real fuckin' truth, all the story; not cut and reducted like in the movie.

[artscigarette1984]

I have it on vid and dvd

[seethootss]

i want to see this where do i find an English version

[derfscratch]

get the region 1 if you can play it, UK version is heavily cut.

A Masterpiece! makes 'Requiem For A Dream' and 'Kids' look like Finding Nemo!

[SpikyPsychical]

@derfscratch

I've watched all three films, "kids" - mainly concerns the issue of AIDS, "'Requiem For A Dream" - is a superficial film, generally weak movie, as far as concerns "Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo" - is a powerful and comprehensive, revealing the cruel reality of fucking life in Berlin in 1977.

[Curliie]

you can find it by the video corner but it is a really hard movie

[Ervinni]

what wrote on you tube to watch this full version this movie?

[LoDoll]

you don't get an english version as that would ruin the whole film, you get the original on dvd with english subtitles

[seethootss]

nah if i wanted to read i'd read a book, when i watch a movie i want it to be in English.

[artscigarette1984]

one word...........fantastic!

[NecoZAlenky1988]

wieso 'boah'

wat is er mis met hollanders:S

[Schneehenry007]

boah nur holländer am start...
