Director Wim Wenders withdraws 1975 film over actress's teen topless scene

Wim Wenders has withdrawn his 1975 film from circulation due to concerns over a topless scene featuring a 13-year-old Nastassja Kinski. Kinski has spoken out about the experience, stating that Wenders failed to protect her during the filming. The decision to withdraw the film is seen as a response to Kinski's criticisms and a reflection of changing attitudes towards on-set conduct and child protection. Wenders' move acknowledges the potential harm caused by the scene and prioritizes Kinski's well-being.
