The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Der alte Fritz - 2. Ausklang è un film del 1928 diretto e prodotto da Gerhard Lamprecht. È la seconda parte di un dittico che comprende anche Der alte Fritz - 1. Friede: i due film propongono la biografia di Federico il Grande - soprannominato der alte Fritz (il vecchio Fritz) - e fanno parte di un genere di pellicole che, in Germania, vennero convenzionalmente chiamate Fridericus-Rex-Filme, tutte dedicate alla figura del re prussiano. Gran parte di questi film fu interpretata, per la sua grande somiglianza con Federico, dall'attore Otto Gebühr. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
