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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Two young lovers from feuding families in 19th century Portugal are torn apart by their parents' rivalry. The story is told through a series of carefully composed still shots in studio sets, creating a deliberately artificial look.

What happens
Amor de Perdição (Lit. Love of Perdition) is a 1978 Portuguese film directed by Manoel de Oliveira. Amor de Perdição is conceived as a succession of "live images" shot with a camera, in still shots, mostly in studio décor, with few outside views. The image composition is quite careful, in keeping with such deliberate artificialism, sometimes with expressionistic traits. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
