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

Of Wayward Love (Italian: L'amore difficile), also known as Sex Can Be Difficult, is a 1962 Italian comedy anthology film directed by Alberto Bonucci, Sergio Sollima, Nino Manfredi and Luciano Lucignani. The film represents the directorial debut of the four authors, who were however all experienced in other areas of the film industry (Manfredi and Bonucci as actors, Lucignani and Sollima as writers). The four episodes are based on short stories by well-known Italian novelists ( Mario Soldati, Alberto Moravia, Italo Calvino and Ercole Patti) and share the themes of love and betrayal. The film was co-produced with West Germany where it was released with the title Schwierige Liebe. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
