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.

What happens

Silent Night is a 2023 American vigilante action-thriller film directed and produced by John Woo. The film, which features minimal spoken dialogue, follows an aggrieved father, played by Joel Kinnaman, avenging the death of his son, who was killed by local gang members in a drive-by shooting on Christmas Eve. Scott Mescudi, Harold Torres, and Catalina Sandino Moreno star in supporting roles. Silent Night was Woo's first American feature directorial effort since 2003's Paycheck. Filming took place in Mexico City from April to May 2022. The film was released by Lionsgate Films in the United States on December 1, 2023, to mixed reviews from critics and only grossed $11 million worldwide. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
