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.

How it feels

A film that makes fun of Munich's high society and strongly criticizes the cultural scene. Unlike Polt's earlier films, it ends without reconciliation.

What happens

Herr Ober! ist eine deutsche Filmkomödie von Gerhard Polt aus dem Jahr 1991, produziert von den Firmen Solaris Film und Vision Film. Regie führten Gerhard Polt und Fred Unger. Der Film zieht Münchens Schickeria durch den Kakao und übt scharfe Kritik am Kulturbetrieb. Die Handlung endet im Gegensatz zu den vorhergehenden Filmen von Polt Kehraus und Man spricht deutsh unversöhnlich. Das Werk hatte insgesamt 359.748 Besucher (FFA) und war damit weit weniger erfolgreich als der Film Man spricht deutsh, den 1988 2,15 Millionen Besucher sahen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
