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.

How it feels

Two young delinquents escape from a reform school and drive across France in a Citroen car. They survive by committing petty crimes in a goofy way while being chased by police. One of them finds love along the road, but tragedy also appears.

What happens

Le Dingue est un film français réalisé par Daniel Daërt et sorti en 1973. Deux jeunes délinquants s'enfuient d'une maison de redressement, traversent la France avec une traction avant (Citroën) et vivent de larcins faits ici ou là d'une manière très loufoque... la police est à leurs trousses, l'amour pour l'un d'eux sur leur chemin, mais le drame aussi.
