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

Eine perfekte Liebe (Parfait amour !) ist ein französischer Spielfilm von Catherine Breillat aus dem Jahr 1996. Hinter dem ironischen Titel verbirgt sich die Geschichte zweier Liebenden, die weder miteinander leben noch sich voneinander trennen können, und um eine enge Verknüpfung von Sexual- und Todestrieb. Eine Zeitungsmeldung über einen Mordfall inspirierte Breillat zu dieser Geschichte, anhand der sie exemplarisch zeigen wollte, dass es die Frauen sind, die die Männer beherrschen.
