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 man investigates a woman's disappearance in a world that blends reality with fantasy and nightmare. The story mixes pulp mystery tropes with eroticism and supernatural hints as it twists into strange dream logic.

What happens
La Belle captive is a 1983 French avant-garde film directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet. A playful mystery, the film combines elements of erotic allure and supernatural horror with a pulp fiction plot. Suffused with visual surrealism, it often explicitly evokes the works of René Magritte. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
