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

Le Hasard et la Violence est un film franco-italien réalisé par Philippe Labro, sorti en 1974. Laurent Bermann, essayiste ayant théorisé sur les relations entre hasard et violence, vient sur la côte en basse saison pour y écrire son prochain essai. Le hasard lui fera rencontrer l'amour mais également la violence, brute et gratuite, qui rôde autour de lui dans la ville. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
