The documented sequence
The Wim Wenders Foundation’s June 3 statement said Wrong Move would be withdrawn from distribution and public exhibition following concerns raised by Nastassja Kinski about a scene filmed when she was 13. Wenders acknowledged that she should have been better protected and apologized.
On July 23, he said the scene would be removed from the film. A July 30 joint statement said the differences had been resolved and that he had complied with Kinski’s request to make the cut.
What remains a separate question
An agreement about an edit does not establish when every distributor will replace a version or restore access. Readers seeking the film should check the rights holder’s current distribution information.
The case also raises a wider question for film archives: how to preserve a historical record while responding to the experience of someone depicted as a child. That debate can be reported without recirculating the material that prompted the complaint. The statements are the basis for this update, not an independent judgment about every historical circumstance.
