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.

It was released on April 23, 2005. The only thing that Li Shaohong's shattering that film has in common with Baober in Love is that both star Zhou Xun. The film had its world premiere at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival, where it won the Best Narrative Feature award. It is an official selection of the prestigious, award-winning Global Lens Collection 2006, presented by the Global Film Initiative. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
