Wenders Cuts Kinski Scene After Decades-Long Dispute
1 Aug
Summary
- Kinski requested removal of a controversial nude scene from the 1975 film.
- Wenders issued a public apology for not protecting Kinski during filming.
- The film "Wrong Move" has been withdrawn from public availability.
Actress Nastassja Kinski and director Wim Wenders have resolved a long-standing dispute concerning a scene in Wenders' 1975 film "Wrong Move." Kinski, who was 13 years old at the time of filming, had repeatedly asked the now 80-year-old Wenders to remove a two-minute scene where she appears topless and is slapped and stroked. Wenders has now apologized to Kinski, stating he realizes she should have been better protected during the filming.
Following this resolution, the film "Wrong Move" was withdrawn from public availability in early June. Streaming, TV, and distribution partners were instructed to halt its release. This action aims to allow the memory of the film to move past the conflict and to mend the long-standing friendship between Kinski and Wenders.
