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
Lady Blue Shanghai is a 16-minute Internet promotion short film for Dior written, directed and edited by David Lynch. It stars Marion Cotillard, Gong Tao, Emily Stofle, Cheng Hong, Lu Yong and Nie Fei, with music by Lynch, Dean Hurley, and Nathaniel Shilkret. The film centers on the surreal circumstances surrounding Cotillard's character, who encounters a mysterious Dior handbag and 1920s music as she enters her hotel room in Shanghai. It has been likened thematically to Lynch's 2006 feature film Inland Empire. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
