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

An Italian comedy where Adriano Celentano plays twin brothers on opposite sides of Nazi Germany. The film mixes historical war footage with original slapstick scenes to parody Adolf Hitler.

What happens

Loggerheads, originally titled Zio Adolfo, in arte Führer (literally "Uncle Adolf, AKA Führer"), is a 1978 Italian comedy film directed by the duo Castellano & Pipolo. It stars singer Adriano Celentano in the dual role of two brothers on opposite sides during the Nazi Germany era. A parody of the life of Adolf Hitler, Loggerheads is partly a collage film, combining dubbed of historical archive footage with similarly shot original footage featuring Celentano and other actors.
