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

A documentary about middle-class families in Los Angeles suburbs who hire private firms to forcibly remove their rebellious teenagers at night and send them to boot camps in Utah. It shows how these well-intentioned but brutal interventions mirror scenes from American action movies.

What happens

I Kærlighedens Navn er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2013 med instruktion og manuskript af Jon Bang Carlsen. I Los Angeles' endeløse forstæder har middelklassen indrettet sin bekvemme tilværelse, hvor villavejene ligger i kvadratiske formationer, så langt øjet rækker. Alt ånder fred og ro, men kun tilsyneladende. For under den idylliske overflade lurer et familiedrama, der nogle gange ryger helt ud af kontrol. Med forældre, der allierer sig med firmaer, der har specialiseret sig i at hente uregerlige teenagere midt om natten i deres eget hjem og mod deres vilje bringe dem til særlige "boot camps" i mormon-staten Utah for at lære dem noget disciplin. Det er både velment og rystende brutalt, men måske ligger der også en skjult pointe i, at de hårdhændede bortførelser mest af alt ligner noget fra amerikanske actionfilm? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
