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

Love and Luck (French: L'amour et la veine) is a 1932 French comedy film directed by Monty Banks and starring Max Dearly, Ginette Gaubert and Olga Valéry. It is the French-language version of the British film Money for Nothing also directed by Banks but with a different cast. Such multiple-language versions were common in the early years of sound before dubbing came to be used more widely. The film's sets were designed by the art director Jean D'Eaubonne. It was one of the first films to premiere at the Grand Rex cinema in Paris which had been constructed by Jacques Haïk who also produced the film, and was a popular success.
