Lena also is an aspiring young actress making a movie for Vilgot Sjöman. It was this attempt that led the movie straight from Customs to a United States District Court, which, showing its usual, extraordinary artistic sense, promptly labeled the movie dangerous for the same adult population that is being softened to death by detergent commercials.To the extent that "I Am Curious" tells a conventional story-and it is very loose and cool in this respect-it is the story of Lena, an intensely serious (and funny) young woman who goes about Stockholm seeking to implement new answers to the social, political and sexual hang-ups that seem to her to have calcified Swedish life. In an interesting-although not terribly revolutionary-way, it attempts to be a total movie. "I Am Curious" is a good, serious movie about a society in transition, told in terms of recording devices-pads and pencils, posters, cinéma vérité interviews, tape recordings and the fiction film. This week's landmark film doesn't seem to be unhinging the populace.Nor is it likely to. When I attended the Rendezvous in the early afternoon, the crowds were large, mostly middle-aged and ruly. VILGOT SJOMAN'S Swedish movie, "I Am Curious (Yellow)," having been found to be not obscene by the United States Court of Appeals, opened here yesterday in Greenwich Village at the Evergreen Theater, and on West 57th Street at the Cinema Rendezvous.
