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
In 1967, a French secret agent goes to Brazil to find a microfilm list of Nazi sympathizers. He stumbles into a bigger international plot and handles it with clumsy confidence.

What happens
OSS 117: Lost in Rio (French: OSS 117 : Rio ne répond plus) is a 2009 French spy comedy film co-written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius. It is a sequel to Hazanavicius' OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006), and sees Jean Dujardin reprising his role as French secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath / OSS 117. Set in 1967, Lost in Rio sees OSS 117 sent to Brazil in order to retrieve a microfilm list of French Nazi sympathizers, only to once again unknowingly set foot into a bigger international intrigue. Like the first film, Lost in Rio is based on the OSS 117 character from the novels by Jean Bruce, but acts as a parody rather than a faithful adaptation. The original title literally translates to OSS 117: Rio Doesn't Respond Anymore, a reference to the 1932 film F.P.1 Doesn't Respond. Lost in Rio received praise for its direction, humour, dialogues and performances. A sequel, OSS 117: From Africa with Love, directed by Nicolas Bedos, was released in 2021.
