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
A Japanese businessman is found brutally beaten in an abandoned steel mill in a decaying Pennsylvania town. The story of what happened is told from the conflicting perspectives of several people involved including the businessman's wife and a local man.

What happens
Iron Maze is a 1991 Japanese and American film directed by Hiroaki Yoshida and executive produced by Oliver Stone, starring Jeff Fahey, Bridget Fonda, Hiroaki Murakami, and J.T. Walsh. Based on Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's story In a Grove (the same short story that was used for Kurosawa's Rashomon), this contemporary re-telling shifts the action to a Pennsylvania 'Rust Belt' town.
