Shadows and Fog

Shadows and Fog, despite being categorized as a comedy, evokes a complex mix of emotions. The humor is largely dark and absurdist, stemming from the protagonist Kleinman's bewildered and anxious journey through a dangerous, Kafkaesque world. Viewers experience significant anxiety and fear due to the underlying threat of the strangler and Kleinman's constant peril. There's also a strong sense of confusion as the plot unfolds in an illogical, dreamlike manner. Moments of joy and happiness arise from the quirky characters and the unique, often witty, dialogue, providing relief from the tension. Empathy is felt for the vulnerable Kleinman and Irmy as they navigate their unsettling circumstances.
