The Details

As a dark comedy-drama, 'The Details' primarily elicits **Humor** through its escalating absurd situations and the protagonist's increasingly desperate attempts to manage his chaotic life. This is coupled with significant **Anxiety** as viewers witness Jeff's poor decisions leading to a spiral of marital infidelity, illegal construction, and bizarre encounters. **Sadness** and **Melancholy** are prominent due to the dramatic elements, particularly the friend's terminal illness and the protagonist's personal breakdown. **Guilt** is a central emotion for Jeff, and **Empathy** is felt for his complex, flawed character as he navigates his self-made 'journey to hell'. The film also evokes **Surprise** and a sense of the **Disturbing** through unexpected plot twists and the unstable character of his neighbor.
