Barão Olavo, o Horrível (1970)

A barely narrative collage of scenes involving the title character, who is fond of corpses, two young women who live with him and are sexually involved with each other, another woman who seems to be the Baron's wife, and two men who seem to be religious preachers or priests.

I guess alienation can produce the kind of cinema displayed here. It oscillates between pastiche (of a very primitive type) and pornography (of a very shy type) and performatic ludicity (of a very uninspired type). Almost completely unfunny.
