Nastassja Kinski criticizes Wim Wenders for nude scene at age 13
Actress Nastassja Kinski has spoken out against director Wim Wenders for filming her topless at age 13 in his 1975 film 'Falsche Bewegung', an adaptation of a Peter Handke novel. Now 64, Kinski is actively working to suppress the scene, asserting that Wenders failed to protect her as a minor. The controversy resurfaces as Wenders, now 80, is set to receive the Honorary Award of the German Film Prize on May 29, with the jury praising him as 'absolutely unique as a filmmaker and an icon of world cinema for over five decades'. Kinski, who became a global star, no longer wishes to be seen as the exposed girl of German auteur cinema.
