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
A mild-mannered man is pushed to the edge by his unfaithful wife and adopts a new identity to seek revenge. As he plots a crime, his plan becomes complicated by unexpected feelings and deception.

What happens
Tension is a 1949 American crime film noir directed by John Berry, and written by Allen Rivkin, based on a story written by John D. Klorer. It stars Richard Basehart, Audrey Totter, Cyd Charisse and Barry Sullivan. The film features an early score from composer Andre Previn. Some of his themes and cues were reused in later MGM productions such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958 film), Designing Woman and North by Northwest. The careers of the director and supporting actor Lloyd Gough later suffered from blacklisting. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
