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

Ursula on Jaakko Pyhälän käsikirjoittama ja ohjaama elokuva vuodelta 1986. Se perustuu Kim Weckströmin romaaniin Puuluola (Tammi, 1984). Elokuva kertoo kolmen nuoren huumeidenkäytöstä ja elämästä. Erään kriitikon mukaan elokuva on kokonaisuutena visuaalisesti kiehtova, miljööt urbaaneja ja roolihahmot ulkoisesti näyttäviä, mutta tarina on kompasteleva ja roolihahmo ohuita.
