Vilgot Sjöman
12/02/1924 | Stockholm, Sweden | Male | 04/09/2006 (81 years old)
David Harald Vilgot Sjöman was a Swedish writer and film director. His films deal with controversial issues of social class, morality, and sexual taboos, combining the emotionally-tortured characters of Ingmar Bergman with the avant garde style of the French New Wave. He is best known as the director of the films 491 (1964), I Am Curious (Yellow) (in Swedish, Jag är nyfiken - gul) (1967), and I Am Curious (Blue) (Jag är nyfiken - bla) (1968), which stretched the boundaries of acceptability of what could then be shown on film, deliberately treating their subjects in a provocative and explicit manner.
