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.
How it feels
This movie is about conflicts over oil in the 1930s. It mixes drama and comedy with a French-speaking cast and a slightly different story from its German version.

What happens
The Oil Sharks (French: Les requins du pétrole) is a 1933 German drama film directed by Rudolph Cartier and Henri Decoin and starring Arlette Marchal, Vivian Grey and Gabriel Gabrio. It is the French-language version of Invisible Opponent, made with the same crew but a largely different cast and some alterations to the story line. The sets for both films were designed by the art director Erwin Scharf. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
