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

The Penitent è un film italiano del 2023 prodotto, diretto e interpretato da Luca Barbareschi su sceneggiatura di David Mamet. Il film è ispirato al "caso Tarasoff", una sentenza storica del diritto statunitense che ha stabilito il dovere dei professionisti della salute mentale di avvertire terze parti coinvolte quando ritengono che il loro cliente rappresenti una minaccia imminente.
