KOFA Double Feature: Love/Addiction
Period2025-11-11(Tue) ~ 2025-11-29(Sat)Location시네마테크KOFA 2관
For our final Double Feature of 2025, we look back at two tragic love stories born amid the streets of drug addiction.
Uli Edel's Christiane F. and Jerry Schatzberg's The Panic in Needle Park unfold in the 1970s on the streets of West Berlin and New York City, respectively. In each, a young woman falls for a handsome, charismatic drug addict and becomes entangled in his habit. Directors Edel and Schatzberg each take great care to depict the culture and rituals surrounding heroin addiction with unflinching authenticity. The films are also anchored by devastating performances from its lead performers: Christiane F. features thirteen-year-old Natja Brunckhorst and fourteen-year-old Thomas Haustein as the star-crossed lovers, while The Panic in Needle Park stars Kitty Winn, whose performance won the Best Actress award at Cannes, and Al Pacino in his first leading role. The result is a pair of haunting portraits that expose the human cost of addiction and the tragic ways it can corrode the purity of young love.
