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.
How it feels
Revolutionaries try to kill a king in a small central European country. The police are too bumbling to stop them.

What happens
Manifesto is a 1988 American comedy drama film written and directed by Dušan Makavejev and starring Camilla Søeberg, Alfred Molina, Simon Callow and Eric Stoltz. It was filmed in what was Yugoslavia under the working title, "For a Night of Love", and is based on the novella Pour une nuit d'amour by Émile Zola. The screenplay concerns an attempt by revolutionaries to assassinate an autocratic central European monarch, and the inept police state that tries to find and stop them. Callow, who plays the character of Hunt, documented the production of the film in his 1990 book Shooting the Actor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
