The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

This South Korean anthology film draws from ancient folktales to tell stories of regret and haunting. It uses a restrained style to focus on the emotional bond between a husband and wife.

What happens

"한"(恨)은 유현목 감독, 이상현 각본의 1967년 한국 영화이다. 한국에서 최초로 시도(試圖)한 옴니버스 영화였고, 유현목 감독으로선 최초의 천연색영화였다. 물론 괴담(怪談)조의 이야기를 고대 설화(古代說話)에서 발췌하여 엮은 내용이었지만, 그 표현의 유현(幽玄)함과 색감(色感)이 단연 압권이었고, 연기면에서는 문희와 이순재가 애틋한 부부애를 그린, 다시 말해서 고전적인 인간상에 어울리는 차분한 연기를 보여주었다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
