Wim Wenders has pulled his 1975 film Wrong Move from circulation, according to reporting from Deadline Hollywood.
The decision follows appeals from German actress Nastassja Kinski, who appeared in a topless scene in the film when she was 13 years old. In a statement posted on the Wim Wenders Foundation website on Wednesday, Wenders confirmed the move, saying the non-profit foundation that owns the film is taking action to address the issue.
The 1975 film has been in circulation for decades. The revelation of Kinski's age during the scene has prompted a reconsideration of the work.
Kinski, who became an acclaimed actress, has spoken publicly about her early experiences in the industry. The removal of Wrong Move reflects how the film industry is addressing its past and the protection of child performers.
This is not the first time classic films have been reassessed over ethical concerns. The decision reflects growing awareness of consent, child safety, and the responsibility filmmakers bear toward minors.
Whether the film will return to public view remains unclear.
