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

Läpi usvan on Roland af Hällströmin ohjaama elokuva vuodelta 1948. Se on Houkutuslinnun ohella Hällströmin film noir -tyyppisiä elokuvia. Elokuvan käsikirjoituksen Hällström laati nimimerkillä Viljo Hela, yhdessä Yrjö Rannikon kanssa, jonka ainoa elokuvakäsikirjoitus tämä oli. Film noirin ohella elokuvan tyyli on sukua Teuvo Tulion tummille melodraamoille. Leif Wager sai osasuorituksestaan vuoden miespääosa-Jussin. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
