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

Femme Fatale is a 2002 neo-noir erotic thriller film written and directed by Brian De Palma. The film stars Antonio Banderas and Rebecca Romijn. It was screened out of competition at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. Upon its release, Femme Fatale received mixed reviews from film critics and became a box office flop. However, the film has since been better received by many critics and gradually regarded as a cult classic. Warner Bros. Pictures had included the film in the catalogue of Warner Archive Collection. In May 2022, Shout! Factory (under license from Warner Bros) released a special edition Blu-ray of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
