Mango Yellow bears an incredibly deceptive title. The film is the portrait of poverty and decay in the Brazilian city of Recife. It centers on a working-class group of men and women and shows the brutality that they have to face every day. There is much graphic imagery in the film, depicting everything from rape to necrophilia to hardcore drug use. Director, Cl''udio Assis, makes a powerful visual commentary on the "decay" of life for these people, who get increasingly more desperate as their lives unravel and fall into shambles. A woman allows her clients to abuse her in order to keep her bar open, a butcher delivers his meats to a seedy hotel where he has to make love to the gay cook in order to make the sale.
