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

"장미여관"은 1991년에 개봉한 대한민국의 영화인데 마광수 전 연세대 교수가 직접 자신의 원작(가자 장미여관으로)을 감독하다가 제작사와의 의견 충돌 때문에 도중하차하여 법정시비까지 벌였으며 서영수 감독으로 영화 연출자가 바뀐 한편 제목이 변경된 끝에 완성됐는데 개봉 첫 날(91년 1월 12일) 겨우 1천명 남짓 밖에 관객이 안 들었고 그 이후 거의 매회마다 극장이 텅 비다시피하여 흥행 실패했다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
