The directing (by Hasse Alfredson) and the cinematography (by Rolf Lindström and Jörgen Persson) are excellent. During the whole movie the audience can hear the bittersweet tones of Verdi's Requiem.

Rather than use a blustery, ineffectual stableman as his central character, Alfredson creates a social outcast doomed from birth. The Simple-Minded Murderer is an eloquent portrait of a man treated as a fool, a man denied the opportunity to live and love because of his disfigurement.
