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
The Monkey Goes West (西遊記, Xīyóu jì) est un film hongkongais réalisé par Ho Meng-hua et sorti en 1966. Il est considéré comme un classique. Il s'agit d'une adaptation du roman La Pérégrination vers l'Ouest ; décrivant les débuts du roman, il sera suivi de trois épisodes. À sa sortie en Corée-du-Sud, il a été présenté frauduleusement comme une coproduction coréano-hongkongaise afin de satisfaire aux quotas légaux en vigueur dans la partie occupée de la péninsule.
