Crazy - Um Dia Muito Louco (1981)

A guy kills his housemate and during his attempts to bury his body is repeatedly disturbed by visitors. The visitors consist of a bit actress, a Bible saleswoman (both of whom are responding to an ad about a room to let), a neighbor who wants to borrow a camera, and a policeman who wants to speak with the deceased man.

Half-baked attempt at black humor. There is a noticeable slant toward sexploitation, albeit with more plot structure than is usual for Brazilian films of that kind. A quote by Shelley ("Death is here and death is there, Death is busy everywhere, All around, within, beneath, Above is death - and we are death.") puts a morbid finish to this film and also to this director's career. Perhaps he knew he would die soon after he finished it.

Rating: 30
