German filmmaker Wim Wenders on Wednesday said he has pulled his 1975 movie The Wrong Move over a nude scene featuring a then-13-year-old Nastassja Kinski.

Kinski, now 65, has urged Wenders to re-edit the film. Last month, she told the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung: “That was my first film, he was my first director and he didn’t protect me.”

Wenders, the acclaimed director behind Paris, Texas and Wings of Desire, issued a statement apologising to Kinski.

“I recognise that Nastassja Kinski should have been better protected back then,” Wenders said. “For that, I apologise to you, Nastassja, unreservedly, no ifs and buts.”

The Wrong Move marked the film debut of Kinski, the daughter of actor Klaus Kinski. It stars Rüdiger Vogler as an aspiring writer wandering through Germany.
