Abstract

Amarelo Manga (2003), a feature film by Claudio Assis, is marked by the circularity of the narrative and by fragmentation in its construction. In the movie, there are several discontinuous stories that intercommunicate in principle by a leitmotif of intense yellow color, the same found in a ripe mango. The problematic characters come across displaying strange characteristics in a Recife’s suburb, space where several of them have their love story marked by the figures of the mango and the flesh, whose repetition suggests that the filmic text can be considered as interconnected isotopic lines that help to create a network of meanings.
