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

Cherchez l'idole (Italian title: Sciarada alla francese, English title: The Chase) is a 1964 French-Italian film directed by Michel Boisrond. Enjoying great success in Japan, notably with the interpretation of Sylvie Vartan and her single La Plus Belle pour aller danser composed for the film and sold millions of copies, the film is considered the instigator of the fashion for Japanese idols and has had a strong impact on the Japanese recording industry as well as Japanese culture in general.
