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
So Long, Stooge (French: Tchao Pantin) is a 1983 French crime drama film directed by Claude Berri and based on a novel by Alain Page, starring Coluche, Agnès Soral and Richard Anconina. It tells the story of Lambert, a broken, bitter man who befriends a younger, lost, man whom he tries in vain to help, and later seeks to avenge his friend's murder. A success at the French box-office, the film is best known for being the first dramatic role of Coluche, then one of France's most popular comedians. Coluche won the César Award for Best Actor for his performance. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
