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 Japanese film takes some basic storylines from a famous 16th century Chinese novel. It follows the sexual and political intrigues of a wealthy man and his many wives and concubines.

What happens
Kin Ping Meh – Chinesischer Liebesreigen (Originaltitel: 金瓶梅, Kinpeibai, deutsch: „Pflaumenblüte in der goldenen Vase“; Alternativtitel: Die sechs Frauen des Ching) ist ein japanischer Spielfilm von Kōji Wakamatsu aus dem Jahr 1968. Das Drehbuch verfasste Atsushi Yamatoya. Es beruht auf einigen Motiven des chinesischen Sittenromans Jin Ping Mei (veraltet: King Ping Meh) aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, wobei der Film das 100-Kapitel-Geschehen auf ein paar Grundlinien reduziert. Die Hauptrollen sind mit Tomoko Mayama, Fumiaki Takashima und Jūzō Itami besetzt.
