Wim Wenders withdraws 1975 film after actress renews call to cut child nudity scene

Saturday, 6 June 2026, 07:04 · 1 min read

German director Wim Wenders has withdrawn his 1975 film "Falsche Bewegung" (Wrong Move) from circulation after actress Nastassja Kinski publicly renewed her decade-long request to remove a scene in which she, then 13 years old, is depicted semi-nude beneath a 30-year-old male actor. Wenders, who received a lifetime achievement award at the German Film Prize, has said the film will not be re-released until he and Kinski reach a mutual agreement on how it should appear. Critics argue the debate is straightforward: Kinski has stated she was unprepared for the scene, was made uncomfortable, and received no protection on set, and that the question is not one of artistic censorship but of basic child safeguarding.
