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
This film follows the later years of Quentin Crisp, an openly gay English writer who moves to New York City. It shows his quiet daily life, his sharp wit, and his unlikely friendship with a younger man.
