What happened

Director Wim Wenders pulls 1975 film featuring then-teenager Nastassja Kinski in nude scene German director Wim Wenders announced Wednesday that he would be pulling his 1975 film “Wrong Move” from circulation due to a scene in which actress Nastassja Kinski,…

Why it matters

Award-winning German director Wim Wenders said Wednesday he was withdrawing his 1975 film "Wrong Move" after a campaign by actress Nastassja Kinski against a scene in which she appeared topless when she was 13 years old.

Common ground

In a statement on his foundation's website, Wenders apologised to Kinski and said that the non-profit Wim Wenders Foundation, which owns the film, is withdrawing it from all current channels of distribution.

Perspective signals
