A Yellow and Blue Movie - I Am Curious Yellow/Blue review by CP Customer
nevertheless is shot in b/w, so the colours refer to the Swedish flag. It's 2 films about a film in a film - or is it? For sure it's different from other movies - part documentary, part behind the scenes and part drama. Sometimes funny to watch as it's typically late 60's, left wing, anti this and anti that. For the so-called explicit sexual content - well maybe for Americans, who may not watch frontal nudity - especially male parts(!) but the BBFC gave it a 15 certificate, so compared to 9 Songs or Shortbus this is almost family viewing! One suggestion proposed in the story has changed in Sweden - a few years ago state and church were seperated.
