Like characters out of some Carnival hell, a macho butcher and his born-again wife, a forlorn barmaid, a sinister sadist and the gay manager of a flophouse called the Hotel Texas run in and out of each other's lives in a film as sloppy, sluttish, scruffy and vital as they are.

In a poor neighborhood in Recife, the lives of exotic and bizarre characters entwine in a bar and in a very low-budget hotel. The queer Dunga works in the hotel and has a crush on the butcher Wellington that is married with the religious Kika and has an affair with his mistress Dayse. The sick necrophiliac Isaac owns a yellow Mercedes Benz and wants to have sex with Lígia that owns of Bar Avenida.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
It's a lot to suffer through for a film that has nothing to say, but insists on saying it anyway. Repeatedly.
It's a beautifully constructed, often disturbing look at a day in the life of several down-at-the-heels denizens of Recife.
Village Voice by Michael Atkinson
A shallow Brazilian trifle.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
For all the grimness and desperation on view in Mango Yellow, the characters emerge as robust, full-dimensional people in touch with their explosive feelings.
