Train Station Pickups

1979 · 87 min

A lurid, exploitative melodrama that leers at its subject, leaving a sour, uneasy aftertaste.

Directed by
Walter Boos
Genres
Comedy, Drama
Overview
A film about drug addiction and prostitution in Berlin that focuses exclusively on "show values" and mixes its completely implausible story with plot elements from relevant sex films. A lurid mixture of schoolgirl report and smear melodrama from the Karl Spiehs smithy.
How it feels
Measured and easy to follow.
About
Addiction, crime, isolation
Content
Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
