Filmmaker apologises as movie withdrawn after scene featuring nude 13-year-old girl

  • German filmmaker Wim Wenders has withdrawn his 1975 film "The Wrong Move" from all distribution channels due to a nude scene featuring a then-13-year-old Nastassja Kinski.
  • Kinski, now 65, has publicly stated that Wenders, her first director, failed to protect her and has urged him to re-edit the film.
  • Wenders issued an apology to Kinski, acknowledging she should have been better protected, and stated the film would remain unavailable until a mutually agreed solution is found.
  • The film, which marked Kinski's debut, features her topless as an apparently mute teen acrobat.
  • Wenders plans to seek a "broad dialogue" with Kinski, the German Film Academy, and other groups to address how to handle controversial 20th-century film works.
