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
In 19th century rural England, a fiercely independent woman inherits a farm and attracts the attention of three very different men. She navigates love and hardship as she tries to manage her land and her heart.

What happens
Far from the Madding Crowd is a 1967 British epic period drama film directed by John Schlesinger and starring Julie Christie, Alan Bates, Terence Stamp and Peter Finch. The screenplay was by Frederic Raphael adapted from Thomas Hardy's 1874 novel of the same name. It was Schlesinger's fourth film (and his third collaboration with Christie). It marked a stylistic shift away from his earlier works exploring contemporary urban mores. Filmed in Panavision, it was the first 70 mm film to be shown on the 75-foot (23 m) screen in the all new Odeon Marble Arch, London. The cinematography was by Nicolas Roeg and the music was by Richard Rodney Bennett, who also used traditional folk songs in various scenes throughout the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
