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 reenacts the real-life controversy around Monty Python's Life of Brian. It follows the comedy group as they defend their film in a televised debate. The style mimics the Pythons' own absurd humor.
