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 man in Las Vegas gets involved with a woman who has a dangerous secret. Their relationship leads to a series of unexpected events.

What happens
The Winner is a 1996 film directed by Alex Cox and written by Wendy Riss based on her play A Darker Purpose. The film was substantially re-edited by its executive producers, Mark Damon and Rebecca De Mornay, and the original score – by Cox's longtime collaborators Pray for Rain – was replaced by a jazz score. Cox requested that his name be removed from the credits. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
