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

Week-end est un film policier néo-noir russe réalisé par Stanislav Govoroukhine et sorti en 2013. Il s'agit d'une adaptation du roman Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (1956) de l'écrivain français Noël Calef, qui a déjà été adapté au cinéma en 1957 par le réalisateur français Louis Malle en 1957. L'action du roman a été transposée à notre époque, dans une grande ville russe, avec d'autres personnages et une intrigue différente - l'auteur de l'adaptation du texte du roman et du film est Stanislav Govoroukhine.
