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 struggling manga artist is assigned to draw a real-life erotic story. She interviews a man and his ex-wife separately, but their accounts of the same events do not match and reveal conflicting emotions.

What happens

『やりたいふたり』は、谷口恒平監督の日本映画。第2回OP PICTURES新人監督発掘プロジェクト優秀賞獲得作品。やっとデビューの決まった新人漫画家・小崎愛。しかし編集者から掲載を言い渡されたのは『本当にあったエロい話』。実録エロ漫画を描くため愛は編集者から紹介された男性・春山タモツに話を聞きに向かう。ストーリーに厚みを持たせるため、妻であった秋田カオリにも取材に行くのだが……。場面やざっとしたエピソードは重なるのだが、詳細は食い違い、互いの感情も異なっていた。いったいどっちが本当なの!? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
