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
In 19th century Greece, a poor older woman becomes convinced that the baby girls born into her community are a curse. She takes extreme measures to prevent what she sees as inevitable suffering.

What happens
La Meurtrière (Η Φόνισσα (I Fonissa)) est un film grec réalisé par Costas Ferris et sorti en 1974. La couleur (alternance de noir et blanc et de couleurs) et de la profondeur de champ y sont utilisées pour exposer l'état d'esprit des personnages : le spectateur n'a accès qu'à leur perception de la réalité. Le film est adapté du roman éponyme d'Alexandre Papadiamantis, paru en 1903 et traduit en français en 1972 par Michel Saunier sous le titre Les Petites Filles et la Mort. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
