German director Wim Wenders has pulled his 1975 film "Wrong Move" from distribution after actress Nastassja Kinski, who was 13 in the film, campaigned for years to remove a sexualised scene.

Wim Wenders
1. Streaming, TV and distribution partners have been instructed to no longer make the film publicly accessible.
2. But I can't blame the 29-year-old young man I was then, 50 years ago, who made a film of his time, who wanted, in a way, to capture the zeitgeist.
3. For that, I apologise to you, Nastassja, unreservedly, no ifs and buts.
4. As the only person responsible at the time for 'Wrong Move' who is still here, I recognise that Nastassja Kinski should have been better protected back then.
Nastassja Kinski
1. Though I didn't know much at the age of 13, I could tell already that this wasn't right.
2. That was my first film, he was my first director and he didn't protect me. Even though I didn't know much aged 13, I knew that that was not ok.
Christian Schertz
1. The matter is between him and Nastassja Kinski, but he has avoided direct confrontation with her for years.
2. This is not a matter of censorship or cancel culture, as he implied in his speech.
3. I also regret that it has only happened as a result of public pressure.
Annette Brauerhoch
1. With this appeal to the public and to the academy, he effectively dispersed the responsibility that rightfully lies with him, across thousands of people.
Wim Wenders Foundation
1. Only after that process has taken place – even if it takes considerable time – and once we have been able to present a mutually agreed solution, which will include Nastassja Kinski, will we make the film available again.
