Dalbert Pringle I'm certainly no prude, but since viewing 1967's, controversial I Am Curious (Yellow), I am now no longer curious about anything, regardless of its color.I guess that back in the supposedly "Swinging Sixties", it was this film's totally blase', wham-bam-thank-you-mam attitude towards sex (promiscuous sex, that is) and the shocking reality of VD (Oh! My gosh!) that got a bunch of sneering, self-righteous critics all in a snitty, little outrage over the sheer brazenness of this film's content back in the USA.Banned outright (upon its initial release) in several countries across the globe, I Am Curious (Yellow), (which contains plenty of full-frontal nudity of both men and women) made sex, from my perspective, to be about as interesting to view as being forced to have to watch someone, whom I disliked immensely, fry an egg.Very amateurish, indeed - This disappointing Swedish production, which was definitely far too long for its own good, certainly seemed to go out of its way to feature a number of decidedly unattractive actors (especially when seen in the nude) in its cast.And after the whole ordeal was finally done - I may be somewhat naive about a lot of things that go on in this crazy world of ours, but, after watching this film, I still don't frickin' know what the hell being "curious (yellow)" is supposed to mean.

anuscontranaturii this movie is not porn, it was not meant to be porn, and unless my uncle runs for president of the world it should never be considered porn.now that that issue was sorted out, i can say i thoroughly recommend this film, as it's issues are still widely available. it's funny, the acting is great and it raises serious(curious) questions.i can't fully understand why this film was so mistreated, probably this is why i plan to never visit the us. Lena is the true pioneer of the modern riot-grrrl movement, confusion, curiosity and wit are her main attributes, she is occasionally angry, but aren't we all?

whist "Jag är nyfiken – Yellow" is a lot of fun. Like at least one other reviewer, I was, on numerous occasions, laughing out loud. Yellow is energetic, playful, self-aware, explorative. Don't expect Bergman here. This movie is about a youth in the early- to mid-60s in Sweden and about the issues, read *contradictions*, that the nation and the world were facing. At times Yellow appears to be an earnest social-political documentary, with Lena, the main character, and others interviewing both common people and politicians (e.g. Olaf Palme at home). At other times, Yellow seems to parody this kind of documentary. All the while, Yellow acts as a personal documentary exploring Lena's life - her home life, her loves, her political views, her view of herself. She is a complete person – complex, flawed, contradictory, happy, sad, curious. And placed over all of this is the wonderful additional dimension of the director, Sjöman, and his crew documenting themselves documenting Lena. It is this that, for me, really gives Yellow wings. Not only do they suddenly appear at some very funny times and in some funny ways, reminding the viewer that this is fiction and artifice, but their presence is itself another layer of the film; they are filming themselves filming themselves. I am reminded of a Bjork music video with this same quality – a music video about the making of a music video, ad infinitum, with each iteration getting weirder and more cartoonish. I think Sjöman may have had something similar in mind. While "Jag är nyfiken – Yellow" may not be everyone's cup of tea, it is certainly intelligent, witty, refreshing, ebullient, and authentic.

Daniel Karlsson This film was probably inspired by Godard's Masculin, féminin and I urge you to see that film instead.The film has two strong elements and those are, (1) the realistic acting (2) the impressive, undeservedly good, photo. Apart from that, what strikes me most is the endless stream of silliness. Lena Nyman has to be most annoying actress in the world. She acts so stupid and with all the nudity in this film,...it's unattractive. Comparing to Godard's film, intellectuality has been replaced with stupidity. Without going too far on this subject, I would say that follows from the difference in ideals between the French and the Swedish society.A movie of its time, and place. 2/10.
