Wim Wenders and Nastassja Kinski Clash Over Nude Scene from 'The Wrong Move'

Actress Nastassja Kinski has demanded the removal of a scene from Wim Wenders' 1975 film 'The Wrong Move' in which she appears half-naked at age 13. Wenders addressed the controversy during his speech at the German Film Awards in Berlin, redirecting the question to the film industry and the public on how to handle such retrospective demands. The debate conflates two issues: how to treat art that has become problematic, and whether actions considered inappropriate today were also seen as transgressions at the time. Wenders' willingness to engage with the discussion is seen as positive, though likely influenced by media attention from Kinski's campaign and his own viral statements at the Berlinale earlier this year.
