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
This comedy is made up of several short stories. Each one focuses on a different kind of maniac, like cheating couples or scheming coworkers.

What happens
I maniaci (lit. 'The maniacs') is a 1964 Italian film directed by Lucio Fulci. The film was part of an Italian cycle of film a episodi , which were portmanteau multi-story comedy films that were popular in Italy from the 1950s to 1960s. The film features several short stories dedicated to various "maniacs" ranging from couples cheating on their partners, people taking advantage of each other in the workplace, and other quirky individuals. The film was Fulci's second episodic comedy following Gli imbroglioni (1963), it was announced as forthcoming in December 1963 and was shot in January 1964. l'Unità gave the film a lukewarm review saying it occasionally showed original ideas while praising cast members performances as highlights.
