Viewing Notes

My kind of weird, punk/industrial subversive cinema! I’m shocked I knew nothing about this as a teenager and never saw it. It was basically made for my industrial music-loving heart with F.M. Einheit and Alexander Hacke from Einstürzende Neübauten, Christiane Felscherinow (the real-life subject of CHRISTIANE F), William S. Burroughs and Genesis P-Orridge, and featuring music by Soft Cell.
