David Bowie Station To Station ( Christiane F)
You may already be familiar with this clip from the 1981 film Christiane F, but this version is a new extended edit (more Bowie, less drugged up teenagers) and has a new improved soundtrack in an attempt to make a more self contained, stand alone version. In the film, this scene shows the main character of the film, Christiane, attending a 70 s Bowie concert in Berlin with her friends. In reality Bowie filmed his part on a set in New York in 1980, miming to an edited version of Station to Station from the Stage album. (At the time, he was appearing on Broadway in The Elephant Man and couldn t fly to Berlin for filming). In the movie, the performance footage then was edited with crowd scenes from an AC, DC stadium concert. The scene was intercut with plot elements consisting of teenagers smoking drugs and popping pills. One of the teenagers is then shown having a bad time of it sitting with his head in his hands with a contorted face. Al
