The Match Factory Girl

The emotional landscape of 'The Match Factory Girl' is dominated by a profound sense of **Sadness** and **Melancholy**, reflecting Iris's bleak existence and the film's somber, minimalist tone. This elicits strong **Empathy** for her plight. As Iris's desperation turns to resolve, **Anger** and **Disgust** become prominent, fueling her calculated revenge. The audience experiences **Anxiety** and **Anticipation** as her criminal acts unfold, leading to **Disturbing** and unsettling moments. The film's 'comedy' element is characterized by very dark, dry **Humor**, often derived from the absurd contrast between the characters' stoicism and their grim reality, rather than overt joy. A complex, dark **Satisfaction** may arise from Iris's retribution, but it's far from a triumphant feeling.
