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

Latin Quarter (U.S. title: Frenzy ) is a 1945 British second feature ('B') thriller directed by Vernon Sewell and starring Derrick De Marney, Joan Greenwood and Beresford Egan. It was written by Sewell adapted from the play L'Angoisse by Pierre Mills and C. Vylars. It was Sewell's second film version of the story, following The Medium in 1934. It was made by British National Films at their studios in Elstree. Sewell called it "a very very artistic movie." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
