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

Elena and Her Men (French: Elena et les Hommes; originally released in English-speaking countries as Paris Does Strange Things) is a 1956 film directed by Jean Renoir and starring Ingrid Bergman, Jean Marais, and Mel Ferrer. It was Bergman's first film after leaving her husband, director Roberto Rossellini. Many film critics see the film as the third entry in a trilogy that also includes The Golden Coach (1952) and French Cancan (1955). A restored copy of the film was released in the early 21st century.
