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 French film set during the occupation that portrays the Resistance not as heroic but as fighting pointless skirmishes. It was censored for its unflattering view of the French in World War Two.

What happens
Les Honneurs de la guerre est un film français réalisé par Jean Dewever. Tourné en 1960, il est sorti en 1962. Le film a été censuré par le pouvoir gaulliste dès sa sortie car il donnait une vision peu flatteuse de la Résistance et des Français durant l'Occupation. Anticonformiste, il réduisait la dimension épique des combats de la Résistance au rang d’inutiles escarmouches. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
