Sitcom

Sitcom (1998) elicits a complex mix of emotions, primarily driven by its dark comedic tone and the dramatic, often disturbing, unraveling of a seemingly normal family. Humor is prominent due to the absurd situations and satirical portrayal of suburban life, but it's frequently intertwined with feelings of disturbance, sadness, and empathy as the characters confront their deep-seated issues, including suicide attempts and masochistic tendencies. The film's unpredictable plot, initiated by a rat, generates surprise and confusion, while underlying anxiety and melancholy reflect the family's dysfunction and the unsettling nature of their transformation.
