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

Che, 1re partie : L'Argentin (Che: Part 1 - The Argentine) est un film franco-américano-espagnol réalisé par Steven Soderbergh et sorti en 2008. Première partie du diptyque Che, il raconte une tranche de vie de Che Guevara qui se termine avec Che, 2e partie : Guerilla. Les deux parties sont tournées en simultané. La première partie se concentre sur la révolution cubaine, de 1955 à 1958, alors que la seconde se focalise sur la guérilla de Ñancahuazú en Bolivie en 1966. Le film reçoit des critiques partagées mais plutôt positives. Benicio del Toro, qui interprète le rôle-titre, a obtenu le prix d'interprétation masculine lors du festival de Cannes 2008. Sorti en une seule fois dans certains pays, le film n'est pas un succès commercial. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
