I found a site claiming that he has the full DVD including the EXTRAS
But I don't have internet connection to download the full 4.3GB DVD
http://worldscinema.org/2012/02/gotz-spielmann-antares-2004-dvd/

If someone has a normal internet connection, please download it and
Upload the full extras

On it... hope the real extras are on this, since the russian DVD9 (6.4GB) did not have the "making of" or any other extras besides a lousy trailer, and trailers for other movies.

Edit:
Same as the Russian DVD9, just re-compressed to DVD5, no extras besides the trailer! :(

I had some sources on my old pc but this is from some minor people know in the industry that have had some runs in with the director

quoted from the site...

There were some questions asked as to why Accent's DVD did not contain any extras. According to Melon Farmers, the UK disc does not contain the 18m extra of rough-cut footage, 12m of which was hardcore. The BBFC gave the disc an R18 (equivalent to our X18+), so the distributor dropped the extra. The same problem would have happened in Australia, so Accent released a bare bones disc.

The following statement was posted on Michael D's R4 DVD Info Page following a review of the disc.



9 Songs DVD Review - George Papadopoulos

Your recent DVD review of our film, 9 SONGS, bemoaned the fact that our R4 DVD release of the film featured no extra features as opposed to the UK disc. Being the film's distributor, I thought it best to explain why we did not include any extra features.

The reason we did not include any extras is that when we appealed the OFLC X18+ rating to downgrade it to an R18+ rating, the classification was applicable to both the theatrical and DVD release. If we had included any extras whatsoever apart from the actual feature, we would have had to get the film re-classified which would have opened the door for religious right groups such as the Australian Family Association and the Festival of Light to appeal the decision which would have unnecessarily delayed the DVD release, more legal costs in defending the film and the possibility of getting the DVD banned. As a result, the film has done very well on DVD so we may actually do another release next year with the extra features but this will depend on potential sales for the new version. There is also extra footage that never made the film so we may include those as well.

Accent Film Entertainment always strives to release the best possible version of all our films including any extra features as evidenced with some of other releases including Fritz Lang's M, Murnau's SUNRISE, Ingmar Bergman's FANNY & ALEXANDER, Gaspar Noe's IRREVERSIBLE etc. However, sometimes due to circumstances beyond our control such as above, we cannot include the extra features that we would like.

Best Regards

Following several responses to the above statement, George Papadopoulos clarified some of his points with this follow up post at Michael D's site.

Greg is correct in that adding any extras apart from the feature will automatically require reclassification. We thought it was better to release the DVD rather than risk the film getting banned and thus never getting a release. After a successful DVD release, we may opt to release a special edition with extras next year because even if it fails, at least the DVD was released in the first place.

I was aware that the UK DVD was going to have a deleted scenes section but decided against it as it contained more hardcore sex scenes. The problem was that they were only sex scenes and taken out of context like that would have opened the Pandora's Box and the film would certainly get banned. Our whole defence of the film at the Classification Review Board hearing was that the film was a work of art from a major filmmaker and the sex scenes were quite lovingly portrayed and not pornographic at all. Taking the sex scenes out of context from the film would have devalued the film as a work of art. Having said that, we will evaluate any extra features available from the producers before we plan any future re-release of the film.

Thanks again for your interest.
Best

Damn it's really a shame that they didn't decide to come up with the extras after all. They must be locked somewhere in their closet....

Do you think there is anyone we can contact and ask whether they will ever release the additional footage of 9 Songs?

Well that all depends on whom exactly currently owns all of the rights to it including the raw footage/ distributions could be Michael W or some sort of investment group perhaps

Well I exchanged a couple of emails with the manger of the distribution company regarding the extras on 9 Songs. Basically, they never gained access to the deleted scenes as it required a lot of money paid (to the director/producers maybe?). They also believe that the director decided in the end not to publish/include any extra/deleted scenes.

Maybe it was due to the fact that they were very extreme, and the actors changed their mind on agreeing to having the scenes go public. Who knows...

[Please avoid out-of-topic discussions aka 9-songs unknown material at the Antares thread.]

This might be one of the coolest “unsimulated sex” objects ever. Both actress and actor were already known persons with careers in movies and stage as well. In particular on German speaking regions. Both at ~40y, I assume also that both have stablished relationships and families (she is an incredible woman and specially a mother, already when the filming took action, this is a major point here in my view). Both decided to take the challenge on performing such erotic-thriller roles with, I would say, no constraints at all. The scenes are raw, beautiful and authentic. They are tremendously professional delivering everything on this project! The level of intimacy achieved is tremendous for two human beings. They are delivering the story about an affair between a man and a woman and that is what is actually happening there all time. I wish I could have such intimacy and complicity with all my partners, always, all time, in the way these two are having here. This makes these scenes (and behind the scenes as well) even more pleasurable. They undress, expose and touch each other, wide open legs masturbation, both perform oral sex (come on guys, his penis disappeared when she goes down on him and on the shower scene, his face is smashed against her genitalia). No graphical penetrating is actually shown at any moment but it is highly plausible that might had happened by several details such: a) raw scenes from a mid-low budget project e.g. no CGI neither prosthetic were obviously used, these two are bare naked all the time b) instinctive arm/hand movements, genitals in the “wrong alignment” become very uncomfortable. This works either you are penetrating or “only” rubbing each other. You simply cannot plan such actions. More importantly, c) some angles on Petra’s face suggest she is blushing e.g. red face, I have this impression also from the behind the scenes video. You agree on what this usually means on a girl, right? Assuming she is really blushing, there is a great chance she’s having a great moment. And specially, d) the actor is not circumcised, this is visible multiple times. After the first sex performance they have (quite nervous btw…) you have a glimpse on his dick “popping out” of the hidden angle of his leg. However - now - having no visible skin on the tip of his penis. For a non-circumcised man, this happens while penetrating (or rubbing for while…) without a condom unless you decide yourself, at some point just by chance, to expose your dick glans. Only my two cents. The movie and the scenes are really cool.
