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

A flamboyantly decorated truck driver named Momotaro Hoshi cruises across Japan with his partner, causing trouble and getting into fights. It is the first in a series of comedy-action films that became a surprise hit, mixing humor and action with a touch of melancholy.

What happens

『トラック野郎・御意見無用』（トラックやろう・ごいけんむよう）は、1975年8月公開の日本映画。 満艦飾のトラックが日本全国津々浦々駆け巡り、主人公・一番星こと星 桃次郎に菅原文太、相棒･やもめのジョナサンこと松下 金造に愛川欽也、マドンナ・倉加野 洋子に中島ゆたか、ライバル・関門のドラゴンに佐藤允が扮して巻き起こす、喜劇と活劇に哀愁が満載の痛快娯楽映画『トラック野郎』シリーズ第1弾。 元々は盆興行後の穴埋め作品として作成されたためシリーズ化の予定は無かったが、公開初日の丸の内東映劇場に1,500人が入場、封切り配給収入4億1,900万円、最終配給収入は7億9,410万円を記録。空前の大ヒットとなりシリーズ化が急遽決定。この年12月には2作目が正月作品として公開された（トラック野郎#作品誕生の経緯とシリーズ化も参照）。 同時上映は『帰って来た女必殺拳』。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
