Wim Wenders Cuts Nude Scene with 13-Year-Old Nastassja Kinski After Apology

Filmmaker Wim Wenders has acceded to actress Nastassja Kinski's request to remove a nude scene featuring her from his 1975 film 'False Movement.' Kinski, who was only 13 years old when the scene was filmed, had expressed discomfort with its inclusion. Wenders has issued a formal apology to Kinski, acknowledging her concerns and agreeing to edit the controversial sequence. The film, originally released in 1975, was withdrawn by Wenders in June 2026, reportedly to address this issue. In a joint statement, both Wenders and Kinski conveyed their shared wish for the film's legacy to no longer be overshadowed by this dispute. They also expressed a desire to reaffirm the amicable relationship they have maintained over the years. This resolution marks an effort to reconcile past artistic choices with present-day sensitivities and ethical considerations regarding the portrayal of minors in film.
