Interesting information, If the scenes were in trailer and no versions of the film has the scene then it's post-production cut and only director has the extended version.

Can you tell me which scenes were removed from 'De Namaste' and 'Casa de Areia' like you did with Zastoj?

I've watched Casa de Areia before because the director of the film was husband of Fernanda Torres ( Lead actress of the movie )  and i have a list of such directors who cast their wives and make them feature in hot scenes. This couple is quite mainstream and big in Brazil and i doubt messaging them would do anything. 

We can try messaging Vinko Moderndorfer though to ask for any director's cut version of the film. 

This reminds me of another movie 'Midnight Hair' released in China back in 2014 when i was a teenager. There was a nude scene of Chinese busty actress Daniella Wang in the trailer at around 0:10 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5jHPmRlnv0 which wasn't there in the full movie (China is most strict with these stuff). I remember searching whole internet for a week only to get disappointed 😀

I know for sure that "Inferno" (2014) has that sex scene in the trailer, so I would ask about that with Vinko Moderndorfer. During a scene in the film where Medea Novak is about to have sex with her husband on the floor and they get interrupted by their daughter, you can see there was a cut where she is barefoot and bottomless. That makes me think that scene was originally longer, too. Also, the character of the blond nurse played by Jana Zupancic begins to sleep with the married character played by Marko Mandic, but they seem to have no sex scenes at all, making me think she too may have sex scenes in the extended version. 

The others I dont know specifics, but I know that De Namaste had sex scenes cut, and while the original running length was 106 minutes, the film was cut down to 98 minutes in Norwegian DVD. 

Casa de Areia had a much longer sex scene in the version shown in cinemas, according to the director.

Has anyone had luck with this one?  Les ravissements (2012)   I have had no luck. There are 2 sources available based on the online search but nowhere close to me.

Thanks 

I had a conversation with the director of the movie. Guy was super hellbent wondering why i want to watch the movie. He kept asking me why you want to watch this movie and not his recent works lmao . Like bro , ofc we want to watch his older movie for the sex .

The film is only available right now at 2 places - vk.com ( password protected ) and Unifrance ( need a member account not a normal account ) .

I'll once again try to start a conversation with him after few days.
I'll try to contact La Flemis as well ( School responsible or producing this graduation film ) and see how it goes. 

I think it is cool you contact filmmakers. I wonder if that director Justin Kelly from Canada is available to give access to "If Wishes Were Horses" (2002)? I sent a message to him on Vimeo a year or so ago and I never heard back. Now I guess Vimeo got rid of the ability to send messages in the last few weeks.

Vinko Moderndorfer's "Zastoj" is a possibliy, I know his 2014 film "Inferno" had some horny sex and nudity, although the trailer shows a sex scene where Medea Novak shows breasts and full frontal nudity, but that scene is not in the available versions of the film.

See the sex and nude scene at the 50 sec mark in the trailer above.

I would love to reach out to the director and ask if there was any way to see an extended version. The same with Andrucha Waddington about "Casa de Areia" (2005) and Anne Sewitsky about "De Namaste" (2015) and the original uncut sex scenes versions.

I think that one is available already. Unfortunately only the 106 minute version has extra sex. I appreciate you looking, though.

Another example of that is Rörelser (2025). The only versions I have found so far are edited without the sex scenes and nudity. Unedited, there such be intense sex scenes, including cheating scenes.

It is 1 hrs 48 min, but what I see so far is 1 hrs 44 min.

www.imdb.com/title/tt28101159/

Another one this occurred with was Casa de Areia (2005). The sex scene in theaters is much more intense and longer than on the DVD. I wonder if we will ever see that one?

www.imdb.com/title/tt0373747/

Thanks for the hard work! Let me know about Rörelser (2025)!

I'll check once but you cant be sure that any scenes were cut simply by looking at runtime of what's listed on imdb and actual runtime of the video file . There can be many other reasons aswell unless explicitly stated or mentioned somewhere about censor.

- Most likely this being the reason - For ex, A 100-minute movie theatrical release will clock in at around 95 or 96 minutes  on a PAL-sourced stream or DVD, even though not a single scene was cut ( Because standard films are shot on 24 fps but most video broadcasting services use standard 25 fps so the streams/dvd are speed up by a bit)

- Other reason can be extra logos, mid/post/pre movie credits were cut .
