Manual brings together images of outdated technology from American television series of the 1960s with the feminine voice of a Hollywood melodrama, confronting their absolute distance with excessive emotion. With its endless close-ups of buttons, switches and control panels, and its choreography of mechanised body language, Manual promotes the idea of the manageability of life to an absurd degree.
