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

What happens
Blithe Spirit is a 2020 British supernatural comedy film set in the late 1930s, directed by Edward Hall in his feature film debut, and starring Dan Stevens, Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, Judi Dench, Emilia Fox, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Adil Ray, Michele Dotrice, and Aimee-Ffion Edwards. Based upon the 1941 comic farce play of the same name by Noël Coward, the film is a significantly reworked adaptation for the screen by Nick Moorcroft, Meg Leonard, and Piers Ashworth. This is the second feature film adaptation of Coward's play after the 1945 version directed by David Lean. Blithe Spirit had its world premiere at the 2020 Mill Valley Film Festival, and was released in the United Kingdom on 15 January 2021. The film received generally negative reviews from critics.
