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

What happens
Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? (French: Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo?) is a 1966 French film directed by William Klein. It is a satirical arthouse mockumentary spoofing the fashion world and its excesses. It stars Dorothy McGowan as Polly Maggoo, an American supermodel who is being followed by a French television crew, and Grayson Hall as Miss Maxwell, a fashion-magazine editor modeled after Diana Vreeland, and Philippe Noiret as the TV reporter and director. Also appearing are Jean Rochefort, Sami Frey, and Alice Sapritch. McGowan was an American model prior to the film; she modeled for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. After the release of the film, McGowan's first and only, she disappeared from public view and apparently neither acted nor modeled again, according to Klein. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
