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 lost Japanese film from 1965 that resurfaced in a shortened print. It follows a woman's story in a harsh and gritty setting, though the full plot remains unclear due to the damaged source material.

What happens

『あばずれ』(英語: Hussy)は、1965年(昭和40年)製作・公開、渡辺護監督による日本の長篇劇映画である。製作元の扇映画プロダクションの第1回作品、渡辺護の第1回監督作品である。長年、原版もプリントも存在しない失われた映画とされていたが、2014年(平成26年)に16mmフィルム短縮版の上映用プリントが発見されたことでも知られる。 東映東京撮影所が同作の翌年に製作した『あばずれ』(監督渡辺祐介、主演緑魔子)とは無関係である。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
