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

Le Pistonné est un film français, réalisé par Claude Berri, sorti en 1970. Le long-métrage fait partie d'un cycle autobiographique comprenant Le Vieil Homme et l'Enfant à l'affiche en 1967 puis Mazel Tov ou le Mariage, sorti en 1968. Récit autobiographique, le film met en scène un jeune appelé à la fin des années 1950. Claude Berri utilise l'humour pour critiquer l'armée française, selon un scénario antimilitariste et pacifiste, le film ayant été tourné peu après les événements de 1968. Aux côtés de Guy Bedos, lequel interprète le personnage principal, on note l'apparition de Coluche dans un second rôle. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
