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
In a rundown Hong Kong neighborhood, a prostitute from mainland China arrives and disrupts the lives of local residents. The film follows the chaotic and sometimes violent interactions that result.

What happens
Hollywood Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港有個荷里活; Jyutping: hoeng1 gong2 jau5 go3 ho4 lei5 wut6) is a 2001 Hong Kong film directed by Fruit Chan, with screenplay written by Kei To Lam. The film was selected to compete for the Golden Lion at the 58th Venice International Film Festival. It is the second instalment of his "Prostitute trilogy" which Chan directed from 2000–02. The other two movies in the trilogy are Durian Durian (2000) and Three Husbands (2018). Chan is known for his disassociation with the mainstream Chinese cinema and this film continues that legacy with the use of little-known actors (except for Zhou Xun) and dark humour.
