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.

How it feels

A young country boy feels drawn to city life, fascinated by the decadent and intellectual world of the university students he befriends. Both his rural and urban realities are weighed down by the characters' inner unease and a deep sadness that mirrors his own.

What happens

Dei è un film italiano del 2018 diretto da Cosimo Terlizzi. Il giovane ragazzo di campagna sente la necessità di vivere in città, affascinato dal mondo decadente, stravagante ed intellettuale del gruppo di studenti universitari di cui è diventato amico. Tuttavia entrambe le realtà sono dominate dal disagio interiore dei vari personaggi e da una profonda malinconia, che è la stessa del protagonista. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
