Nastassja Kinski Speaks Out on Nude Scene in Wim Wenders Film

Actress Nastassja Kinski has broken her silence on a controversial nude scene from Wim Wenders' 1975 film 'Falsche Bewegung' (Wrong Movement), in which she appeared topless at the age of 13. Kinski stated that addressing the scene was "not easy, but long overdue." She expressed gratitude to those who had reached out to her, with her agency confirming the authenticity of her Instagram account. Kinski revealed that she has been asking Wenders for 15 years to remove the scene, which she filmed before fully understanding its implications. "Although I didn't know much at 13, I already realized that it wasn't right," she told Süddeutsche Zeitung. Her lawyer, Christian Schertz, added that Wenders had "refused a personal conversation with Kinski about the scene for years." Wenders addressed the allegations at the German Film Awards, admitting that he "would never do it that way again today" but stated he would not delete the scene. Subsequently, Wenders' foundation announced that streaming, television, and distribution partners had been instructed not to make the film publicly available. Wenders has also apologized to Kinski. Kinski, however, did not comment on the film's temporary withdrawal in her statement. She accused Wenders of not taking her seriously and of not having apologized to her at the film awards. Her lawyer described Wenders' announcement as "long overdue."
