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
Opera (also released as Terror at the Opera) is a 1987 Italian giallo film co-written, produced, and directed by Dario Argento. It stars Cristina Marsillach, Urbano Barberini, Daria Nicolodi, and Ian Charleson. The film's plot focuses on a young soprano (Marsillach) who becomes involved in a series of murders being committed inside an opera house by a masked assailant. The film features music composed and performed by Brian Eno, Claudio Simonetti, and Bill Wyman, and extensive excerpts from Giuseppe Verdi's Macbeth. Released in Italy in December 1987, Opera was a commercial success, grossing 4.737 billion lire. The film failed to receive theatrical release in most other countries, though it did receive minor regional theatrical engagements in the United States in 1990, after Orion Pictures dropped the film from a planned American distribution.
