Manual poster

Released in 2002, Manual is a notable film directed by Matthias Müller, running about 10 minutes.

What it’s about. Combining close-ups of redundant technology gleaned from 60s US sci-fi television series with a female voice of a 40s Hollywood melodrama, Manual makes absolute detachment clash with magnified emotion. When its record of the minutae of endless buttons, switches and control panels Manual reduces the notion of any manageability of life to a sheer absurdity.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.0/10, Manual has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
