What is Roman Polanski's obsession engraved in "Tess"?

Nastassja Kinski made her debut in the film industry with the beauty inherited from her mother.

Nastassja Kinski was born to Klaus Kinski, an actor (or rather, an actor) best known for his work with director Werner Herzog, and Brigitte Ludt Tocchi. His mother Brigitte, who worked as a shop clerk in Berlin when she was 19 years old, was said to be a dazzling beauty. Klaus Kinski, who was already in his mid-thirties, fell in love with her at first sight and proposed marriage. However, her married life was not a happy one. He locked her in his mansion and never allowed her to leave. It goes without saying that you can go to your favorite theater or go to work. They didn't even allow him to hire a gardener just because he was a man.

"My mother didn't have to think or do anything. She was a pet woman from the beginning." ( Excerpt from an interview with Nastassja Kinski )

Eventually, Klaus Kinski abandons Brigitte and marries another woman. At just eight years old, Nastassja Kinski and her mother quickly found themselves in financial trouble. Unless I do something. If I don't save my mother. The girl, who is not even old yet, decides to overcome this difficulty on her own. She had a big weapon. Her weapon is the beauty she inherited from her mother.

Nastassja Kinski began working as a model in her teens. Eventually, he was discovered by Wim Wenders and made his film debut in `` Detour '' (1975). She went topless even though she was only 13 years old. She also appears nude in `` Stay As You Are '' (1978), co-starring Marcello Mastroianni. As told by the adults around her, she continued to expose her skin in front of the camera. I had no idea if it was the right thing to do or not.

``You shouldn't do that. There was no one there to tell me, 'It doesn't make any sense.' There was no one to protect me. I was just a young girl living in Italy. It was stupid." ( Nastassja) (Excerpt from an interview with Kinski )

She may have become desperate because she felt exploited by the industry at a young and vulnerable age. He was once caught shoplifting and spent three months in a juvenile detention center. That's when I met Roman Polanski.
