The thing that previously got the film banned in Ontario and Oklahoma involved the actor David Bennent, who was eleven at the time and who has some controversial scenes in which he appears to have oral sex and intercourse with Katharina Thalbach. But director Volker Schlöndorff affirmed that throughout the making of these scenes, Ms. Thalbach's entire pubic area and genitals and buttocks were completely covered at all times with a fully opaque cloth material called Duvetyne. Thus, there was a complete barrier that prevented any physical contact between her and Bennent.

In 2020, David Bennent said he really enjoyed the scene under the blanket with Katharina Thalbach. He added that she slapped him and she was reprimanded by the producer for this. The actress justified herself by saying that David "has got his hands where I don't want them all the time."
