 I Am Curious (Yellow) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I Am Curious (Yellow) is a Swedish film (Jag är nyfiken - en film i gult) of 1967, directed by Vilgot Sjöman and starring Lena Nyman as herself.
In one sense, it is a documentary-within-a-movie, but this is complicated by the companion film, I Am Curious (Blue), released in 1968.
The film's title was the inspiration for the name of The Fall’s 1988 album I Am Kurious Oranj as well as The Simpsons episode "I Am Furious Yellow" and the "Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane" issue "I Am Curious (Black)" wherein Lois Lane becomes a Black woman for a day.

 I Am Curious — Yellow/Blue
Vilgot Sjoman's notorious, groundbreaking companion films, "I Am CuriousYellow" and "I Am Curious — Blue" ("The only film that comes in two versions — yellow and blue"), are now together in brilliantly restored form in a box set from The Criterion Collection.
His "I Am Curious" films take on the social and political problems festering in the seemingly perfect social democratic society of the "new" Sweden of the '60s (yellow and blue being the colors of the Swedish flag).
"I Am CuriousYellow" became a major cause célèbre when the film was seized and banned in the United States for obscenity (chiefly because of a shot of actress Lina Lyman kissing a fellow actor's flaccid penis).

 I Am Curious / Jag är nyfiken | Film International
In the published diary that narrates the making of Yellow and Blue, he defines pornography in terms of voyeurism, and argues that what traditionally make scenes of lovemaking in the cinema pornographic are the veils, the sheets, the slow dissolves, the whole machinery of titillation and innuendo.
Yellow and Blue are crucial films also in the context of Sjöman’s work as an auteur in the European art cinema of the 1950s and 1960s.
Beside the moments of supreme artistry by actors as well as the director, the most striking quality of the Curious films is their otherness as documents (at least symptomatically) of a time and a sensibility that simply are not there any more.

 notcoming.com | The Controversy of I Am Curious
Vilgot Sjöman’s I Am Curious (released in two parts, Yellow and Blue, 1969 and 1970) primarily concerns a liberal woman, Lena, and her thorough solicitation of the Swedish public.
I Am Curious ushered in a decade in which the sexual boundaries of film were further expunged.
Criterion’s I Am Curious boxed set presents both films in enormously improved transfers (my first viewing of Yellow was on VHS with unreadable subtitles, and this set’s presentation redeemed what attention I lacked in my first viewing).

Sjöman is screen-testing actresses and Lena is displeased.
Whereas I Am Curious Yellow is fresh, vibrant and informative, the reprise that is..Blue shaves away some of the cool success of the first film, its originality diminished by its less than radiant aura of its dim other half.

 New York Press
I Am Curious (Yellow) was booked into mainstream movie theaters across the country after a couple of years of court battles over "obscenity" led by the film’s American distributor, Barney Rosset, of the pioneering Grove Press.
Seeing I Am Curious (Yellow) so many years after its local debut in a new DVD package that also contains the sequel, I Am Curious (Blue), one is struck by its inextricable sexual and social content.
Knowing I Am Curious (Yellow)’s rep for all these years, it is surprising to finally see it–and see what it really is. By today’s standards, the sex scenes are tame (though Hollywood is still shy of Sjoman’s casual view of the penis).

 The DVD Journal | Reviews : I Am Curious: The Criterion Collection
Already controversial in its native Sweden and throughout Europe for its frank leftist criticism of Democratic Socialism, its 1969 release in the U.S. provoked an outrage of a different kind: the movie's explicit nudity and sexual situations made it the focus of a censorship campaign and, subsequently, a key anti-obscenity Supreme Court case.
A year later Sjöman released a companion film, I Am Curious (Blue), edited from unused footage and reshoots, telling Lena's same story of pouting self-discovery with different material (for example, her political interests in this version relate to the state prison system and Sweden's defense policy of non-violence).
On Disc Two, accompanying I Am Curious (Blue), are one deleted scene from the film and half an hour of excerpts from the Swedish television production "Sjöman '92." The liner notes include an essay by critic Gary Giddins and excerpts from a 1968 print interview with the director.

 I Am Curious Yellow / I Am Curious Blue - DVDs & VHS - MovieMail UK
At the end of Yellow, and appropriately for a film that was at the vanguard of major changes in what could be depicted and how, Lena clears out all the clutter of her room to start anew.
I am Curious — Blue is Yellow’s companion — ‘the same film with different material’ according to Sjöman, though it feels instead as if it plays a supporting role to the other film rather than being its equal partner, filling in its back story, coming at it from another angle.
Lena’s efforts at this in Yellow weren’t fully appreciated or understood by some, she received some wholly unpleasant ‘fan mail’, which is read and shown on screen in Blue.

I am very open-minded to films of varying backgrounds, styles, and national origins, and came by the Criterion release of the once controversial "I Am Curious" (Yellow and Blue) in an unusual promotion in which I received this box set free from a local bookstore when purchasing another box set.
On balance I finally settled on giving the film(s) two stars: I really wanted to enjoy "I Am Curious," but each time I was about to settle into the plotline I was jolted back to reality by self-aggrandizement and a political dogma that was otherworldly in it's 1960s approach to income redistribution.
The significance of yellow and blue is that those are the colors of the Swedish flag, and there is no doubt that these films would resonate quite differently for a Swedish audience in the late 1960s than they would for an American audience then or now.

In an introductory series of interviews (similar interviews — all real — comprise the majority of Yellow and its companion piece Blue) Lena asks, “Is there a class system in Sweden?” Her targets are clearly members of the working class, and answers are generally mixed.
Even in its age, a quality that impedes the film, I am CuriousYellow encapsulates 60s Sweden’s political state: the country is branded by democracy, yet suffers from socialist trappings, for which new politics supply no remedy.
I am Curious is entertaining for its novelty, and exhaustive in its political intent.

This is an advertisement from the yellow pages, until they realised that if you turned it upside down and covered the lady's head and the hand holding the glass, all was not as it seemed.
Some critics have long maintained that companies and their advertising agencies often employ subliminal advertising to increase sales by concealing words and images (usually of a sexually suggestive nature) in their advertisements.
Such is the nature of the putative Yellow Pages ad for a flooring company displayed above, which is accompanied by an illustration of a woman holding a champagne glass that, when flipped upside-down and cropped in half horizontally, resembles an image of a woman with no lower undergarments touching herself in a strategically sensitive area.

Besides, we hear so often that sex education is the responsibility of the parents, and I, as Iggie's creator, am as close to a mother as she will ever have.
So I eventually concluded that it was my duty to share Igorella's first porn flick with her, and to ensure that she derived an appropriate and healthy understanding of the experience.
To my surprise, I Am Curious (Yellow) is far less titillating, and only slightly more explicit, than the average episode of NYPD Blue.

George, however, had noticed my van parked, as he described it :- ’In a very curious place’ and one evening as we sat in it we saw a tall and purposeful George and slightly shorter companion striding across the flat heath that borders the cliffs of The Range, a secret no more.
My trusty climbing partner innocently offered me the route name - because it’s sort of yellow rock and it’s on curious George Wall and much later, when it was too late to change it, he confessed that I Am curious Yellow was in fact a soft porn film.
