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.

How it feels

The film follows several lost young people moving through Tokyo's sleazy underground. They drift through scenes of violence, sex, and drug use in a society that seems to have lost its moral compass.

What happens

"Janku fudo" ("Rämpstoit") on jaapani filmirežissööri Masashi Yamamoto 1997. aastal valminud mängufilm, mis oma postmodernse lähenemisega Tōkyō räpasesse, vägivaldsusest ja hedonismist tiinesse ühiskonda šokeeris vaatajaid. Yamamoto kasutas filmis mitteprofessionaalseid näitlejaid ning tema visuaalselt stiili võrreldi Takashi Miike omaga. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
