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

Narcisse is a 1940 French comedy film directed by Ayres d'Aguiar and starring Rellys, Paul Azaïs and Monique Rolland. It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris and the Saint-Laurent-du-Var Studios in Nice. The film's sets were designed by the art director Lucien Aguettand. It is a remake of the 1938 British film It's in the Air directed by Anthony Kimmins and re-used footage from the earlier film. It was produced during the Phoney War period and was released in March 1940, a few weeks before the beginning of the Battle of France. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
