"Mango Yellow" Claudio Assis' debut film is set in an impoverished Brazilian shantytown where a wide array of sinister characters leer from every corner. Assis meticulously chronicles the sexual intrigues and violent confrontations that flourish among the city's downtrodden. What keeps these portraits and character studies from feeling oppressive and morose, however, is that Assis affords his characters dignity and self-awareness. They are "full-dimensional people in touch with their explosive feelings" (Stephen Holden, New York Times), and the effect of watching their struggle is uncomfortable but revelatory. In Portuguese with English subtitles. 103 minutes. |
