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

Une trop bruyante solitude est un film tchéquo-germano-français de Věra Caïs, sorti en 1996. C'est une adaptation du roman tchèque Une trop bruyante solitude de Bohumil Hrabal publié en 1976. Tourné courant 1995 à Prague-Hostivař, il est diffusé à la télévision sur Canal+ en 1996 mais ne sort en salles en France qu'en 2011, après que la réalisatrice récupère ses droits sur son film.
