German director Wim Wenders says he is withdrawing his 1975 film “Wrong Move” from circulation after a long-running dispute over a nude scene involving actress Nastassja Kinski, who was 13 at the time of filming. Multiple outlets report that Kinski has spent years urging the removal of what she describes as a sexualized presentation of her topless appearance as a teenager and has said the filmmaker did not protect her.
On Wednesday, Wenders announced the withdrawal, with some reporting linking the decision to the Wim Wenders Foundation, which owns the film. Sources describe the film as featuring Kinski topless at the age of 13 and note that her campaign brought renewed attention to the footage after its release.
While the coverage focuses on Kinski’s criticism and Wenders’ response, details of any specific edits are not uniformly described across outlets. Overall, the reports agree on the core points: the film is pulled from circulation, the controversy centres on the topless scene with Kinski as a minor, and the decision follows appeals from the actress.
