As a director and scriptwriter for the screen Alfredson tried many different genres. He had his greatest critical successes with Ägget är löst! En hårdkokt saga (1975) and The Simple-Minded Murderer (1982), which got the Silver Bear and Best Actor award for Stellan Skarsgård at the Berlin Film Festival and the film also was awarded with two Guldbaggar. Some of his best acting performances he did in Jonas Cornell's Grisjakten (1970), Anders Lönnbro's Sista budet (1981) and his own The Simple-Minded Murderer (1982).
