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

Princess Fragrance (香香公主), also known as Gebi Enchou Lu (戈壁恩仇錄), is a 1987 Hong Kong wuxia film adapted from the novel The Book and the Sword by Jin Yong. Directed by Ann Hui, it is a sequel to The Romance of Book and Sword, which was released earlier in the same month. The film is largely seen as a faithful adaptation of the novel; however, it is less available now due to limited releases on VCD and DVD. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
