Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lena Nyman became a feminist lightning rod after 'I Am Curious (Yellow)' (1967), Sweden's most seized film by U.S. customs. This doc finally lets her narrate that chaos.
The 17 paper bags were discovered after her 2011 death, unedited and unfiltered — essentially a posthumous autobiography she never authorized, raising thorny questions about consent and legacy.
