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

Los Neuróticos is a 1971 Argentine comedy film co-written and directed by Héctor Olivera and starring Norman Briski, Susana Giménez and Victor Bo. It was originally produced and finished in 1969, but it was banned by the Argentine Classification Board (which was in charge of censoring films) during the following years. The film underwent several cuts to submit it again in order to receive classification, but in September of 1971 the censors maintained their decision to ban the film. After several cuts and a new ratification in October, the film was finally authorized to be released in November 1971. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
