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 Singing Thief est un film hongkongais réalisé par Chang Cheh, sorti en 1969 au cinéma. Le film comporte une partie de la distribution à forte composante taïwanaise de Tropicana Interlude sorti la même année : le chanteur vedette Jimmy Lin Chung, l'actrice glamour Lily Ho et l'exotique Essie Lin Chia. Il s'agit d'une des premières réalisations de Chang Cheh mettant en scène celui qui deviendra son acteur fétiche les années suivantes, David Chiang. La performance vaudra à Lin Chung le sobriquet de "Diamond Divo" (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
