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
The Fox is a 1967 drama film directed by Mark Rydell in his feature directorial debut, adapted by Lewis John Carlino and Howard Koch from the 1923 novella of the same title by D. H. Lawrence. It stars Sandy Dennis and Anne Heywood as two women (implied to be a lesbian couple) living in rural Ontario, and Keir Dullea as the sailor who comes between them. The film was an international co-production between Canada and the United States. It was released in Canada on December 13, 1967, and in the United States on February 7, 1968. It received positive reviews from critics, and was a commercial success. The film was nominated for four Golden Globe Award nominations, including Best Director – Motion Picture and Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for Anne Heywood, and won Best English-Language Foreign Film. Lalo Schifrin's score was nominated for both an Academy Award and a Grammy Award. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
