^ it's not a movie that is best appreciated for character development, i agree. however, i give it a bit of leeway since it is 30 years old and the real gritty poignancy of it is in the fact that it is very much based on interviews with the real young christiane and filmed in those actual nasty locations of west berlin late 1970's early 1980's (not that those places have changed so much since then...). it shows a terrible and tragic slice of life that most people usually do their best to avoid noticing: the inner cities' damaging effect on the potential of youth. also, knowing that the real christiane is today in amsterdam and still to this day hooked on heroin makes me very sad indeed.

^ you're in for a treat. the 80s were imo his best period. if not, certainly it's him at his most single-minded in approach -- succinctly, a variant of neo-realist predilections informed by an ozu-inspired, nay intoxicated, sensibility. i think he's best that way. my favourites of the lot are probably the time to live and the time to die and a city of sadness. plenty of masterful material to savour in those and others from that period. this is one awesome scene of all cinema-dom:
