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

Le Dernier Été est un téléfilm français réalisé par Claude Goretta en 1997. Dans les années 1930, Georges Mandel, ancien collaborateur de Georges Clemenceau, est l'un des parlementaires les plus talentueux de l'Assemblée nationale, à la fois écouté et redouté. Journaliste et député de la Gironde, il est nommé au poste de ministre des PTT, puis des Colonies. Cet homme de droite hors de tout parti, volontiers cassant et autoritaire, est le premier à s'engager contre la montée du nazisme. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
