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

The Road to Glory is a 1936 American war drama film directed by Howard Hawks and starring Fredric March, Warner Baxter, Lionel Barrymore and June Lang, and produced by 20th Century Fox. It is a depiction of World War I trench warfare in France. It is vaguely inspired by Roland Dorgelès’ 1919 novel and Raymond Bernard’s 1932 film Les Croix de Bois (Wooden Crosses), though the film credits do not mention them. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
