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

This Italian comedy stars Totò in a parody of the Hollywood film Blood and Sand. It makes fun of the bullfighting and dramatic love story from that original tale.

What happens

Fear and Sand (Italian: Fifa e arena) is a 1948 Italian comedy film directed by Mario Mattoli and starring Totò. The title makes reference to the 1941 Hollywood film Blood and Sand and its 1908 source novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, which Fear and Sand partially parodies. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
