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.

How it feels

A man with a name evoking a famous fictional lover finds himself irresistible to many women. The story plays out with humorous and sometimes slightly melancholic situations.

What happens

『日本一の色男』（にっぽんいちのいろおとこ）は、1963年公開の日本映画。植木等主演で10本作られた「日本一の男」シリーズ第1作である。光源氏を彷彿させる名前をもち、美女たちからモテモテになる主人公を植木が演じているが、ほろ苦さの残る展開もあり、シリーズ中でもやや異色の1作といえる。同時上映は駅前シリーズの『喜劇 駅前茶釜』（「備考」も参照）。 キャッチコピーは「女は幾万ありとても 腕に覚えのC調口説き! 進め植木の無責任男!」。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
