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

An Amazing Couple (French: Un couple épatant), also known as Trilogy: Two, is a 2002 French-Belgian film written and directed by Lucas Belvaux. It is the first installment of Belvaux's Trilogy, which also includes On the Run (a thriller) and After the Life (a melodrama). Each film explores a different genre while overlapping in time, characters, and events: central figures in one story appear as secondary characters in the others. Belvaux designed the trilogy so that audiences can watch each film independently or piece them together for a broader perspective, though in the UK the release order was altered, with the second film shown first.
