Drug abuse is the subject of Christine, but once again neither the characters nor the approach would be too familiar to viewers. The hero is a pasty-faced teen in a windbreaker and ill-fitting striped shirt who walks endlessly from one peer-aged client to another during the deserted daytime of the suburbs. Needless to say, from the first shot, Steadicam shots of Christine walking take up the majority of screen time, with the journeys culminating in affectless shoot-ups in empty homes.

Arguably could have been ten or twenty minutes long without losing anything substantial, but it sprawled over forty minutes to fit the "Play for Today" spot on telly. I don't know if that kind of redundancy still allows this to be called a work of minimalism, although conceptually the film does remain painfully simple throughout. It relies heavily on those trademark Alan Clarke tracking shots that would totally make "Elephant" (and Gus Van Sant's interpretation of "Elephant").
