MOVIES - Oct. 14, 1988

Nastassja Kinski can now proudly call herself a Swiss resident. Kinski had been waging a bureaucratic battle for months to live in the Alpine nation, having been rejected without explanation by the state authorities of Geneva. The Swiss state of Fribourg finally granted the actress a work and residence permit, her lawyers said Thursday. Kinski, her husband, Egyptian film producer Ibrahim Moussa, and their two children will settle in at once, and then Kinski’s production company, Leila Films, will make a movie about the life of Jean-Henri Dunant, the Swiss founder of the Red Cross. She says the movie will be comparable to “Gandhi” and should be completed in time for the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation in 1991.
