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

Fatti della banda della Magliana è un film del 2005 diretto da Daniele Costantini e interpretato, fra gli altri, da Francesco Pannofino e Roberto Brunetti, con la partecipazione di Leo Gullotta e Fanny Cadeo, liberamente ispirato alle gesta della Banda della Magliana. La storia rappresenta le "imprese" di una banda unica nel suo genere. Unica oltre che per la sua notevole rilevanza criminale, per il suo carattere estremamente "romano": una strana mescolanza di indolenza e ferocia, di ironia e spietatezza, di fantasia e inciviltà, di approssimazione e determinazione.
