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

『狂走セックス族』（きょうそうセックスぞく）は、1973年公開の日本映画。渡瀬恒彦主演、皆川隆之監督。『仁義なき戦い 広島死闘篇』の併映作。 スピード狂の淳哉（白井孝史)は欲求不満をバイクにぶつけ、仲間と毎日の様に猛スピードでぶっ飛ばしていた。ある日、白バイ警官・本郷(渡瀬恒彦)がナナハンの白バイで追跡し淳哉は捕まってしまう。以来、淳哉は白バイ警官を出し抜くべくナナハンをゲットし、改造を繰り返して本郷に挑む。バイクに乗ることでのみ自身の存在を確信する無軌道な男と、白バイ警官という職業を選ばなければバイクに乗ることを許されなかった男。二人は結局、互いにバイクを飛ばし、潰しあうことでしかその溝を埋めることができなかった。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
