Christiane F.

Based On the book by Kai Hermann

Christiane F. (German: Christiane F. – Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo, de ) is a 1981 West German biographical drama film directed by Uli Edel. It depicts the descent of Christiane Felscherinow, a bored and depressed 13-year-old coming of age in 1970s West Berlin, to a 14-year-old heroin addict. Based on the 1978 non-fiction book Zoo Station: The Story of Christiane F., transcribed and edited from tape recordings by Kai Hermann and Horst Rieck, the film immediately acquired cult status and features David Bowie as both composer and as himself. In 2013, Felscherinow published her autobiography Christiane F. – My Second Life.
