Süchtig - Protokoll einer Hilflosigkeit is a raw and gritty documentary that dives deep into the chaotic life of Tanja Hülsen, who spiraled into heroin addiction after that first shot in '89. The film takes its time, capturing the bleakness and struggle of addiction as it unfolds over the years, showcasing not just the physical toll but the emotional wreckage involved. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing viewers to sit with the discomfort. There's a stark authenticity in Tanja's portrayal—her vulnerability and raw honesty are almost palpable. Practical effects are minimal, yet the realness of her experiences hits hard. It's a distinct piece that refuses to glamorize the addiction narrative, instead opting to lay bare the harsh truths of a life lost in dependency.
