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

After the Final Battle (originaltittel: Jue zhan zhi hou) er et kinesisk historisk krigsdrama fra 1989 regissert av Li Qian-Kuan og Xiao Gui-Yun. Filmens handling er lagt til sluttfasen av den kinesiske borgerkrig. Rollen som Mao Zedong spilles av Gu Yue. Filmens fremstilling av de historiske forholdene regnes for å ligge nær opp til det som var det offisielle kinesisk synet på den tiden filmen ble produsert. Den ble kåret til beste film, både ved Gullhanen og Hundred Flowers Awards (her delt med Black Snow og The Kunlun Column). En tilsvarende film som ble lansert samme år var The Birth of New China.
