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 trichophile man steals the corpse of a girl whose hair keeps growing. He sells the hair as extensions to salons, and the hair drives users insane or kills them. An aspiring hairdresser becomes his target.

What happens
Exte (エクステ, Ekusute) is a 2007 Japanese supernatural horror film written and directed by Sion Sono, and stars Chiaki Kuriyama, Ren Osugi, and Megumi Satō. The title is a Japanese slang shortening Romanization of the English term "extension" from "hair extension". The plot involves an aspiring hairdresser (Kuriyama) who becomes the infatuation of a trichophile man who sells hair extensions to nearby hair salons. The source of the hair is the stolen corpse of a girl whose dead body continues to grow beautiful and voluminous black hair that comes alive, driving those who use the extensions insane or killing them. The movie was released in the U.S. as Exte: Hair Extensions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
