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 steamboat captain travels up a river in Africa to find a mysterious ivory trader who has set himself up as a god-like figure. The journey becomes increasingly unsettling as the captain discovers the depths of the trader's madness and the darkness within the jungle.

What happens
Heart of Darkness is a 1994 television film adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s famous 1899 novella written by Benedict Fitzgerald, directed by Nicolas Roeg, and starring Tim Roth, John Malkovich, Isaach De Bankolé and James Fox. It is the third screen adaptation of the novella, following a 1958 television adaptation for the anthology series Playhouse 90 starring Boris Karloff, and 1979's Apocalypse Now with Marlon Brando, which loosely adapted it and updated it to the Vietnam War. The film was filmed as a co-production with Ted Turner's Turner Pictures, and then aired by his TNT network on March 13, 1994. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
