"I Am Curious (Blue)" (original Swedish title: "Jag är nyfiken - blå") is a 1968 film directed by Vilgot Sjöman and starring Lena Nyman as a character named after herself. It is a companion film to 1967's "I Am Curious (Yellow)"; the two were initially intended to be one 3½ hour film. [Vilgot Sjöman, "I Was Curious: Diary of the Making of a Film" (Grove Press, 1968)] The films are named after the colours of the Swedish flag.

"Blue" is a second version of "Yellow", taking place before and after the first movie. It has a more somber and bitterly satiric style, and a further explication of the framing narrative.
