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

Amor der Perdição (portugiesisch für: Verhängnisvolle Liebe) ist ein schwarzweißes Filmdrama des portugiesischen Regisseurs António Lopes Ribeiro aus dem Jahr 1943. Es ist eine Literaturverfilmung des gleichnamigen Klassikers des portugiesischen Schriftstellers Camilo Castelo Branco. Es war der erste Tonfilm nach mindestens drei früheren Stummfilm-Adaptionen des Stoffes. Bis heute sind einige weitere Verfilmungen erschienen, darunter portugiesische und spanische Fernsehserien, der prämierte Das Verhängnis der Liebe von Manoel de Oliveira (1979) oder auch der Kinofilm Um Amor de Perdição von Regisseur und Kameramann Mário Barroso (2009).
