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.

What happens

The Belle Starr Story/Il mio corpo per un poker is a 1968 Italian Spaghetti Western film co-written and co-directed by Lina Wertmüller and starring Elsa Martinelli, who also sings the title song. It is the only Spaghetti Western directed by a woman and one of the few which stars a woman in the title role. Wertmüller replaced Piero Cristofani as director in his intended directorial debut.
