Nothing Mango Yello

Nothing, from Cuba, focuses on a young postal worker. Mango Yello, from Brazil, considers life in a sensual, sun-drenched coastal town.

Recommended for mature audiences. Nothing focuses on a young postal worker dreaming of joining her parents in Miami as she enlivens her own drab existence by opening and rewriting the letters she's in charge of processing. (Juan Carlos Cremata Malberti; Cuba; 2001, 88 mins.)

Guaranteed to shock even the most jaded viewer, Mango Yello is a carnivalesque tale of low-rent losers in a Brazilian coastal town steeped in sensuality and bold, sun-drenched colors. (Cl·udio Assis; Brazil; 2002, 100 mins.)
