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

陰陽界，1988年中國出品之劇情片，為電影《歡樂英雄》的續集。由福建電影製片廠製片，吳子牛導演，背景是閩南地區，故事發生在1935年鬼節前後。 本片雖名為「陰陽界」，但並非恐怖片。劇情描述村民在一名中共地下黨員被殺後，化解恩怨，反抗國民黨地方政府及鄉團。編劇司馬小加為導演吳子牛之妻，所改編的原作正是其父司馬文森1964年出版所著小說《風雨桐江》。電影於1988年7月開拍，和原著相比，捨棄不少描寫城市的橋段，而更聚焦於鄉村。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
