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

Divorce in the Black (marketed as Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black) is a 2024 American thriller-drama film directed by Tyler Perry and released on Amazon Prime Video. It stars Meagan Good as Ava, a young bank professional whose seemingly perfect marriage unravels when her husband abruptly leaves without explanation. The film is a part of Tyler Perry's multi-picture deal with Amazon Studios, following previous collaborations with Netflix movies such as “A Jazzman’s Blues,” “A Madea Homecoming” and “A Fall from Grace”. Principal photography began in 2023, and the film was officially announced by Amazon MGM Studios in early 2024. It attracted attention online due to its ensemble cast and Tyler Perry's return to dramatic filmmaking outside of his Madea franchise. The cast also includes Cory Hardrict, Joseph Lee Anderson, Taylor Polidore, Shannon Wallace, Richard Lawson, and Debbi Morgan. Divorce in the Black was released on July 11, 2024, and received negative reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
