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

『現代やくざ 与太者の掟』（げんだいやくざ よたもののおきて）は、1969年2月1日に公開された日本映画。製作：東映東京撮影所、配給：東映。菅原文太の東映移籍後初主演作品で、それまでの東映任侠映画に比べて描写がリアルで、後の『仁義なき戦い』を先取りしているという評価もある「現代やくざシリーズ」の第1作である。 東京・新宿を舞台に、一匹狼の男が組織ヤクザの暴力と対決する「アクション娯楽篇」。 封切り時の同時上映は『緋牡丹博徒シリーズ』第3作の『緋牡丹博徒 花札勝負』（監督：加藤泰、主演：藤純子）。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
