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
This 1974 film is made up of several short segments that poke fun at odd behaviors in 1970s Hong Kong. It shows a range of strange characters including a man obsessed with TV who ignores his wife and a person who prefers the company of elderly men.
