Sweden's answer to student riots up the Champs-Elysee was probably this film back in 1967, which 'Describes the difficulties of a radical in a country with no serious problems,'. Random questions asked by a young girl to members of the public displays the middle-aged middle-class apathy with the social upheaval of the sixties. With its added sex content it was no wonder it was banned.

Before the student riots up the Champs-Elysee, Sweden came out with this film, which 'Describes the difficulties of a radical in a country with no serious problems'. Random questions asked by a young girl to members of the public compares middle-aged middle-class apathy with the social upheavals of the 60s and, with its added explicit sexual content, it was no wonder it was banned. This dvd also includes Sjoman's follow-up, "I Am Curious Blue", which continues Lena's journey of self discovery.

The strange tale of a bored Swedish housewife who cuts herself free of restraint, and for two gloriously warm and funny days finds her pleasure wherever she can. She ends up in the seedily exotic 'Club Zanzibar', and eventually in the arms of Montenegro, oblivious to all else. Witty, sexy and weird!
