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.
How it feels
A French factory worker snaps and becomes a violent wild man. He attacks his boss, destroys his apartment, and drags his mother and sister into a cave-like existence with no language or modern comforts.

What happens
Themroc is a 1973 French satirical film by director Claude Faraldo. It was produced by François de Lannurien and Helène Vager and its original music was composed by Harald Maury. Made on a low budget with no intelligible dialogue, Themroc tells the story of a French blue collar worker who rebels against modern society, reverting to an urban caveman. The film's scenes of incest and cannibalism earned it adults-only ratings. It was the first film to be shown in the UK's Channel 4's red triangle series of controversial films in 1986. It has become a cult film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
