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 early Argentine musical brings together famous stage and radio performers of the time. It follows a simple romance story set to tango music, but poor sound and acting hold it back. It was one of the first big films of Argentina's cinema golden age.

What happens
¡Tango! is a 1933 Argentine musical romance film, the first film to be made in Argentina using optical sound technology (but not the first sound film.) Many existing stars of the Argentine stage and radio appeared in the film, but its success was limited due to poor sound quality and weak acting. ¡Tango! established a formula that would be used by many subsequent tango films. Along with Los tres berretines, which premiered the same year, it inaugurated the Golden Age of Argentine cinema. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
