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

『紅の流れ星』（くれないのながれぼし）は、1967年10月7日に日活で製作された、舛田利雄監督。石原裕次郎主演、舛田監督の『赤い波止場』を舛田自身がセルフリメイクした、渡哲也主演のアクション映画である。それまで石原裕次郎の路線での売り込みをされていた渡にとって、ターニングポイントの一つとも言える作品で、監督の舛田は、映画『勝手にしやがれ』のジャン＝ポール・ベルモンドのイメージで渡を演出したという。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
