Use Instructions
Use Instructions
1989, English. Directed by Guido Manuli.
An extremely direct indictment of the ills of contemporary life, sparing little in its brutal satire. Simply, the film uses a human bottom as its synecdoche and central metaphor, beginning by suggesting that 'we have lost the instruction booklet for its use'.
