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

A man has a condition that makes his thoughts audible to everyone around him. This leads to isolation and conflict as he struggles with being unable to hide his inner self from society.

What happens

Satorāre (サトラーレ?) (anche conosciuto con il titolo inglese Transparent: Tribute to a Sad Genius) è un film del 2001, diretto da Katsuyuki Motohiro e scritto da Masashi Todayama. Distribuito il 17 marzo 2001 in Giappone, il 5 ottobre in Spagna (dove venne proiettato presso lo Sitges Film Festival) ed il 21 novembre 2003 nella Corea del Sud, è stato prodotto dallo Studio Kajino (sussidiario dello Studio Ghibli), ma non venne accreditato nei titoli di coda. Invece, in quelli dell'edizione R3 DVD, fu messo in coda alle aziende produttrici con il nome di "Ghibli Studio". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
