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

『ああ爆弾』（ああばくだん）は、東宝が1964年に製作した日本映画。監督は岡本喜八。ジャズからロック、浪曲に狂言、果ては題目までを駆使した和製ミュージカル映画である。併映は勅使河原プロ作品『砂の女』（監督：勅使河原宏）。原案はアメリカ合衆国のミステリー作家コーネル・ウールリッチの短編小説「万年筆」 (Fountain Pen) である。 なお本作上映時には、大映でもミュージカル映画『アスファルト・ガール』が上映を開始したため、期せずしてミュージカル映画の対決となった。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
