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 French erotic drama from 1976. It is based on a Grand-Guignol stage play rather than the novel it claims to adapt. The story involves torture and sexual exploitation.

What happens
Le Jardin des supplices est un film français de Christian Gion, sur un scénario de Pascal Lainé, sorti en France en octobre 1976. Il s’agit en fait, non de l'adaptation du roman homonyme d'Octave Mirbeau, mais de celle d'un mauvais mélodrame grand-guignolesque de Pierre Chaine et André de Lorde, abusivement intitulé Le Jardin des supplices, pièce en trois tableaux, créée au Théâtre du Grand-Guignol le 28 octobre 1922 et reprise en mars 1929 au Théâtre Saint-Georges. Très librement inspirée du roman d'Octave Mirbeau, elle n'a, en fait, qu'un très lointain rapport avec lui. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
