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

Comedy Of Innocence (French: Comédie De L'Innocence) is a 2000 French psychological mystery film directed by Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz and starring Isabelle Huppert. It is co-scripted by Ruiz and Françoise Dumas. The film is produced by Mact Productions, distributed by Canal+, CNC, TF1, Les Films du Camelia. The film was loosely adapted from Massimo Bontempelli's novel The Boy with Two Mothers. The music is composed by Jorge Arriagada, a Chilean composer who collaborated with Ruiz on other films such as Shattered Image and Three Lives and Only One Death, indicating a common practice for Ruiz to collaborate with the same core crew members over multiple films.
