The simple-minded murderer expertly crafted a simplistic storyline of horrific wealthy businessmen against an honest feeble-minded Sven was a harrowing experience. Stellan Skarsgård's magnificent bittersweet performances brung a purity to the oppression the character is forced to suffer.

The Simple-Minded Murderer (Swedish: Den enfaldige mördaren) is a 1982 Swedish drama film directed by Hans Alfredson, starring Stellan Skarsgård, as the feeble-minded Sven Olsson. It was released to cinemas in Sweden on 12 February 1982.
The Simple-Minded Murderer melds fantasy with reality, heaven with Earth. Viewers must draw their own conclusions about Sven's celestial visions. The movie even goes so far as to muddy its time setting.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth. A little Sling Blade, a little Walker, a little doomed romance, a lot "angels with revolver codpieces leading a harelipped Stellan Skarsgård on a mission of righteous, doomed vengeance."
