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
The Inugami Family (犬神家の一族, Inugami-ke no Ichizoku) is a 1976 Japanese mystery film directed by Kon Ichikawa. It is based on the novel The Inugami Curse by Seishi Yokomizo. The film is the first in Kon Ichikawa's and Kōji Ishizaka's Kindaichi Series. The soundtrack is composed by Yuji Ohno. Ichikawa remade the film in 2006 as The Inugamis. Murders start taking place within the very rich Inugami family in connection to a will left by Sahei Inugami, the family patriarch to Tamayo, an outsider. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
