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

322 je celovečerní hraný debut slovenského režiséra Dušana Hanáka. V tomto slovenském psychologickém dramatu si zahrál hlavní postavu český herec Václav Lohniský. Film pojednává s dokumentaristickou suchostí o muži, který byl dříve komunistický funkcionář, později se vrátil ke kuchařskému řemeslu a který tuší, že má rakovinu (číslo v názvu odkazuje k číselnému označení diagnózy). Hlavní postava chápe chorobu jako trest za to, co vykonal v 50. letech. Za film získal Dušan Hanák Grand Prix spolu s filmem Medium Cool na 18. MFF v Mannheimu, a to bez vědomí Filmexportu, v té době byl film již v Československu zakázán. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
