The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

《野玫瑰》是中国1930年代的一部无声电影,导演为孙瑜,王人美和金焰主演。1931年冬拍摄,1932年初上映。2009年,该片曾在旧金山无声电影节中国无声电影回顾展被电影节选中。2012年,该片在第七届巴黎中国电影节被巴黎美爵(MATZO PARIS)翻拍成有声电影。 《野玫瑰》是在九一八事变后编写,一·二八事变之后上映的,有着浓厚的抗日情绪。该片是王人美的首部电影,也是她的成名作。王人美与女主角小凤的性格、爱好很接近,让人感觉不到她是在演戏。她自然、发自内心的表演打破了以往中国电影女主角捧心西施的可怜形象,为中国电影注入真实、鲜活的生命力。金焰在该片中出演男主角。两人的合作使他和王人美成为当时上海最受欢迎的银幕情侣,两人也在拍摄此片时开始相恋,后结为夫妻。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
