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 Kiss of Fire (French: Naples au baiser de feu) is a 1937 French romantic comedy film directed by Augusto Genina and starring Tino Rossi, Michel Simon, Mireille Balin and Viviane Romance. The film is based on the 1924 novel Naples au baiser de feu by Auguste Bailly. It had previously been made as a 1925 silent film and was later adapted again for a remake, Napoli terra d'amore, in 1954. It was primarily shot at the Saint-Laurent-du-Var Studios in Nice with some location shooting in Naples. The film's sets were designed by the art director Guy de Gastyne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
