Hurlyburly

Hurlyburly, as a dark comedy-drama, primarily evokes a mix of Sadness, Humor, Empathy, Anxiety, and Melancholy. The film's portrayal of self-destructive Hollywood figures leads to a strong sense of pity and understanding (Empathy) for their flawed lives, coupled with the inherent bleakness and despair (Sadness, Melancholy) as their personal lives spiral into chaos. The 'comedy' aspect often manifests as dark or observational humor, highlighting the absurdity of their situations, while the impending 'catastrophe' generates significant Anxiety. Anger and Disgust arise from witnessing their poor choices and dysfunctional relationships.
