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 man returns to his hometown in China to search for a woman he loved years ago. The story shifts between memories and a dreamlike sequence filmed in a single long 3D shot.

What happens
Long Day's Journey into Night (Chinese: 地球最後的夜晚; pinyin: Dìqiú Zuìhòu de Yèwǎn; lit. 'Last evenings on Earth') is a 2018 Chinese drama film written and directed by Bi Gan. Despite the film's English-language title, it is unrelated to the 1956 Eugene O'Neill play of the same name. The film premiered at the Un Certain Regard section of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. It is notable for its final 59 minutes, which consists of one unbroken long take in 3D. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
