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

Cold Heaven is a 1992 American supernatural thriller film directed by Nicolas Roeg, and starring Theresa Russell, James Russo, Mark Harmon, Julie Carmen, and Seymour Cassel. Adapted by Allan Scott from the 1983 novel of the same name by Brian Moore, the film follows a lapsed Catholic woman whose husband inexplicably rises from the dead, profoundly challenging her beliefs. The film score was by Stanley Myers. Cold Heaven had its world premiere at the 1992 Palm Springs International Film Festival before receiving a limited theatrical release in the United States on May 24, 1992. It received mostly unfavorable reviews from film critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
