Strayed

Audience emotional responses are heavily influenced by the grim realities of war and the complex human drama unfolding within it. Sadness and Empathy are paramount due to the characters' profound loss, vulnerability, and the overall tragic circumstances of the refugee exodus. Fear and Anxiety are consistently present, stemming from the immediate dangers of war, particularly the devastating attack on refugees, and the constant uncertainty of survival. The central, unconventional romance between Odile and Yvan introduces significant Love, but it is deeply intertwined with Melancholy due to their isolation, the age difference, and the bleak wartime backdrop. The film also evokes a sense of Disturbing reality through its depiction of wartime brutality and the moral ambiguities of their confined relationship.
