About This Movie

Christina (1984) is a curious blend of crime and drama that offers a rather unique narrative. The film dives into the absurdity of kidnapping, showcasing Christina Von Belle's plight as she's snatched by a group of lesbian terrorists. The tone oscillates between dark humor and tension, creating an unpredictable atmosphere. After her escape, the transition to gourmet chefs trying to get a slice of the ransom money is both bizarre and oddly engaging. The pacing keeps you on your toes, never quite sure what’s coming next. Performances range from earnest to over-the-top, adding to its distinct flavor. It feels like a product of its time, with some gritty practical effects that give it a raw edge, making it stand out in the landscape of 80s cinema.
