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.

How it feels

What happens

est un film franco-belge réalisé par Benoît Mariage sorti en 2007. Cowboy raconte l'histoire du journaliste de télévision Daniel Piron (Benoît Poelvoorde) désabusé qui souhaite revenir sur le devant de la scène en retrouvant les protagonistes d'une prise d'otages qui avait eu lieu vingt-cinq ans auparavant. Hélas, le ravisseur, Tony Sacchi, qui l'avait inspiré, n'est plus le révolutionnaire de l'époque. Le choc des retrouvailles n'a pas lieu. Le film et le projet de Piron ne vont pas être à la hauteur de ses attentes. Il décide de manipuler les faits. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
