Seized by customs upon entry to the United States, subject of a heated court battle, and banned in numerous cities, Vilgot Sjöman’s I Am Curious—Yellow is one of the most controversial films of all time. This landmark document of Swedish society during the sexual revolution has been declared both obscene and revolutionary. It tells the story of Lena (Lena Nyman), a searching and rebellious young woman, and her personal quest to understand the social and political conditions in 1960s Sweden, as well as her bold exploration of her own sexual identity. I Am Curious—Yellow is a subversive mix of dramatic and documentary techniques, attacking capitalist injustices and frankly addressing the politics of sexuality.

Release Notes on Restoration
I am Curious - Yellow
I Am Curious—Yellow is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1. This new high-definition digital transfer was created on a Spirit Datacine from new 35mm prints made from the original negative. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from a 35mm optical track print; audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. To further enhance the image, the MTI Digital Restoration System was used to remove thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches.
