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.

Through The Looking Glass (released in France as Femme ou démon) is a 1976 American adult horror film directed by Jonas Middleton and starring Catharine Burgess, Jamie Gillis and Laura Nicholson. "Catharine Burgess" was a pseudonym for Catherine Erhardt. The film, which has avant-garde elements, concerns a bored socialite who finds herself drawn to a mirror that sexually arouses her. The film has themes of incest and the traumatic effects it has on those who have experienced it. It also contains scenes of violence and sexual violence, as well as presenting the sexual content in an artistic as opposed to erotic manner. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
