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.

What happens

Le Matelot 512 est un film français réalisé par René Allio, sorti en 1984. Pour établir son scénario, René Allio s'est inspiré d'un manuscrit que lui avait remis un vieil homme, Émile Guinde, dans lequel il raconte sa vie mouvementée. Le film est traité sous la forme de roman-feuilleton du début du XXe siècle. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
