Movie Info

One of the most popular and controversial films in Swedish history, I Am Curious brought the sexual revolution to Sweden's silver screen. While much of the media hype centered on the film's scandalous content, the film's blending of documentary and fictional footage was equally shocking for Swedish audiences. Content-wise, the film's more controversial parts include the defacement of a photograph of Franco and a sequence where a young couple has sex in front of the royal palace. A film in two

Today we can get our sex with less punishment, which is progress of a sort.

I'm not very fond of this sort of moviemaking, which tries to disarm conventional criticism by exploiting formlessness as meaningful itself, but I like Sjoman's sense of humor and sense of humanity, and his obvious affection for Lena.

The movie is simply, basically, boring. It is stupid and slow and uninteresting.

It is an intellectually stimulating work with a smart, comical atmosphere, and it sustains its appeal through the perky modern attitude exhibited by Nyman, even when she has her clothing on.

As much a bore as its predecessor, the "Yellow" movie.

Droll and creaky.

What was once considered audacious and experimental now seems rather quaint and artistically pretentious.

The mix of frivolousness and moral reproach, though, seems altogether '60s, rather than particularly Swedish.

I suspect that I am Curious (Yellow) will remain largely, well, a curiosity.

At once humorously annoying, politically dynamic, and clever the film is a reasonably enjoyable two hours.

Rarely very stimulating to watch, but significant in the evolution of audiences', critics' and censors' attitudes to film.

As a time capsule piece, it's fascinating, yet as a stand-alone film, it's only intermittently interesting.

This is both a political documentary and a romantic drama mixed together which doesn't work too good. It's an interesting idea to combine the two, and some parts seem to work, but for the most part it doesn't. Overall, interesting, but it could have been better.

I Am Curious (Yellow) was quite groundbreaking when you look at it today. Unfortunately it will probably always be remembered for its sexual content that proceeded to get it banned (on porpoise?) although it's actually quite tame compared to today's standards. It's socialist anti-war message was quite brave for it's
