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

La Marche de Radetzky (Radetzkymarsch) est une mini-série franco-allemande en trois parties de 85 minutes totalisant 255 minutes, réalisée par Gernot Roll et Axel Corti, diffusée à partir du 25 décembre 1994 en Autriche et du 4 décembre 1994 sur France 2. Ce drame historique tiré du roman éponyme de Joseph Roth (1894-1939), dépeint à travers les désarrois du jeune lieutenant von Trotta, la désagrégation de l'Empire austro-hongrois dans la décennie précédant 1914. Cette description est ponctuée par les notes allègres et moqueuses du leitmotiv musical : la Marche de Radetzky, une marche militaire que Johann Strauss père composa en l'honneur du célèbre comte Radetzky.
