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.
How it feels
Five men in Tokyo go about their lives during wartime. The film uses a miniature steam locomotive crafted by special effects artist Eiji Tsuburaya.

What happens
『東京五人男』（とうきょうごにんおとこ）は、1945年に製作された斎藤寅次郎監督の日本映画。モノクロ、スタンダード、検閲認証番号:23。 冒頭の蒸気機関車は、特殊技術の円谷英二によるミニチュア特撮で表現された。円谷は、本作品では本名の「円谷英一」名義で参加しており、戦意高揚映画に貢献していたためCIEの追求を逃れる意図があったものと見られている。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
