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

Love Again is a 2003 British television drama film directed by Susanna White, starring Hugh Bonneville, Tara Fitzgerald, Amanda Root, Lorraine Ashbourne and Eileen Atkins. It is about the poet Philip Larkin, his life as a librarian at the University of Hull from 1955 to 1985, and his relationships with three women and his mother. It premiered on BBC2 on 26 July 2003. The Irish Independent wrote that "if this were fiction, there'd be no point and very little drama", but with Larkin as the main character, the film becomes "both enthralling and illuminating".
