I watched this one after watching the recently released TV adaption. A lot of people complained that the show wasn't like the film. I agree with them that the show is different in the way that the show does everything right that the movie does wrong.
This movie lacks everything. It has no characters. Christiane is the only person that I would say is maybe half a character. We get a tiny glimpse of back story that is it. We don't know who she is what the thinks why she likes the dude or where she comes from. Other people in this movie are basically bodys with names.
We get very little dialogue and when we get it it is painfully bad. It is never about anything. Since the director choose too pick non-actors for the roles except for Christiane F, for whatever reason we will never know, we get the poorly written dialogue badly delivered and if that wasn't enough it is badly dubbed as well even in his own language.
Since we get a a lot of non-actors we get bad performances. The actress who plays Christiane F. Ist alright at best but I don't blame her because nobody could make this character or dialogue work.
What we get is people taking drugs. And the reason the TV Show was so good is because we get actual reasons why they take drugs. We get motives, backstories and characters. In the movie we just get to see mopey people taking drugs. Why? We will never know.
