Daft even by giallo standards

Ultra-obscure giallo involving a man in a lot of trouble. He returns home one night after working away to find that his wife has been murdered. Due to the nature of his job, he does not go to the police but instead goes to his lawyer, who arranges for him to be set up in an abandoned hotel while they try and establish an alibi.You see, our man here is a drug courier and has no alibi because he was up to no good, stayed well out of the road of people, and cannot rely on anyone to say he was out of town when his wife was killed because his associates cannot reveal themselves. The lawyer knows this as he's just as corrupt as anyone else, and has to find out who really killed the guy's wife, although I didn't really work out why they kept the guy alive instead of just shooting him.So, the guy ends up locked in an abandoned hotel with his mistress and at first it's all 'hey, let's watch a porno and get it on' but soon they are bickering and fighting with each other. Things go from bad to worse when it turns out that someone else is in the hotel with them, then things goes completely off the deep end when someone gets murdered in the hotel and our poor guy has to help dispose of the body! What's going on then?At first it seems like we're in for a very long, boring film with two people trapped in a hotel arguing and having flashbacks but soon things get very surreal with even our poor guying shouting "What's happened to reality?" while a strange sexy lady has a bath in a bare room while a monkey plays on a perch in the background, loud parties reveal themselves to be recordings, and weird hippy types outside spout absolute nonsense that I guess is supposed to be some sort of comment on the state of Italy in the early seventies.Also strange is that we often get to hear people's thoughts. Not just the protagonist, but everyone, and usually it's some bizarre comment on someone they've just met. You'll be scratching your head so much you'll have a groove in it by the time things are explained so absurdly you'd think they were just making the thing up as they went along.Yet it's for these very reasons that this one is worth tracking down. There's little nudity and blood, but enough daftness to keep you going. Good lighting effects too - in a hotel where there's seemingly no electricity, you still get to see what's going on, which can sometimes be the downfall of any horror film.
