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

『長脇差忠臣蔵』（ながどすちゅうしんぐら）は、1962年8月12日に大映が配給した、渡辺邦男監督による時代劇映画で、主演は市川雷蔵。 忠臣蔵とタイトルが付いているが、同作は幕末の渡世人を扱っていて、忠臣蔵の人物や逸話とは全く関係なく、幕末の政局に任侠の世界を織り交ぜた映画。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
