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

Revolution is a 1985 British historical drama film directed by Hugh Hudson, written by Robert Dillon, and starring Al Pacino, Donald Sutherland and Nastassja Kinski. Pacino stars as Tom Dobb, a frontiersman in the colony of New York who involuntarily becomes involved in the Revolutionary cause during the American Revolutionary War. Revolution was panned critically upon its release, and was a financial failure; its official release was delayed in Pacino's native New York City. Under withering criticism, Pacino took a four-year hiatus from films until 1989, when he made a successful comeback with Sea of Love. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
