Sem Essa, Aranha (1970)

A non-narrative succession of long takes featuring the same three or four actors (plus some musical celebrities who appear on some scenes, and assorted extras) who more or less play, respectively, a billionaire, his wife, a destitute woman, and another woman who is possibly the billionaire's lover. The only rule of the film seems to be chaos, there is a lot of screaming, the lines are repeated ad nauseam, the scenes are apparently to a large degree improvised, an atmosphere of doom pervades all scenes. There is a review (in Portuguese) of this film on the film site Contracampo, at this link:

That review describes a scene (a self-rape with a bottle) which I do not recall seeing in the movie. Either I was not paying enough attention or the copy I saw was cut.
