Anecdotes
One of the sources of inspiration came when director Hans Alfredson first heard Verdi's "Requiem". He instantly knew that he wanted to use it for a movie.

Gaffes
This film is set in the 1930s, yet when Sven goes by a toy store during his breakdown, a plush toy of Snoopy can be spotted in the store's vitrine. Snoopy wasn't invented until 1950.

However, during the same scene, many other anachronisms can be seen, such as an 1980s Saab in the background. It is so obvious that apparently the director did it on purpose, possibly to indicate that the class struggle depicted in this film is not a thing of the past.

Citations
Höglund: You see I really don't need this little sum of money, Månsson, it's not that. You see, it's about principle.

As relevant as ever

As others have remarked, this may be the best movie to come out of Sweden. It both enrages and soothes, as it follows the oppression and uprising of the main character.

While it covers the tribulations and triumphs of the main characters perfectly, it's about so much more. It has a big heart and reminds you that overcomplicating things can lead us astray, whereas the purity of simplicity is sometimes what we should strive for, and it's a lesson in the corrupt nature of power.

The production may seem plain at first, but you'll soon realize that it's pitch perfect. Unfortunately I didn't see this movie before now - I, like every man, could have done well with the additional ballast that this piece of art provides.
