Christiane F. is a great German film from 1981 about Vera Christiane Felscherinow

Just don’t fall for the remake on Amazon Prime Video, which boils the story down to “prostitution isn’t that bad if you take a breath mint after oral sex”(something that was actually said in the remake).

Over here in Germany, most people come into contact with the original movie at some point in their live and it’s a good deterrent from hard drugs as far as education goes on this topic, but I’m afraid that it is aging quite a bit and might not connect with young people nowadays anymore…

…and which is why I felt the need to point out that the remake is looking great and more modern, but the grimness has been watered down immensely.
