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

『黒い雪』（くろいゆき）は、1965年の日本映画。作中のシーンが「わいせつ物頒布等の罪」に問われ、監督および配給担当スタッフが刑事裁判（黒い雪事件）の被告人となったことで議論を呼び、社会問題となった。 前年に谷崎潤一郎原作の『白日夢』『紅閨夢』を相次いでヒットさせた監督・武智鉄二が自らオリジナル・シナリオを執筆した、性描写と反戦メッセージを込めた作品。 日活スコープ・モノクロ・89分。配給は日活および国映。封切り時の同時上映は『夜霧の脱出』。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
