Review of The Simple-Minded Murderer

I've been looking to see this film again for about 20 years! I saw this in San Francisco during the 80's and was blown away. I was in my early 20's and loved watching foreign films (mainly Swedish, Italian and Australian at the time). This was one of those films that really sticks out in your mind...especially that it makes you sympathize with the main character and understand why he hallucinates angels. It should not be categorized as a comedy although there were very funny moments in it, I feel those moments were only there for comedic relief because the film was so heavy. It really made me cry and was extremely thought provoking. I'm so glad it's available on DVD now. I'm going to buy a copy right now.
