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

Kiss of the Spider Woman (Spanish: El beso de la mujer araƱa) is a 2025 American musical drama film written and directed by Bill Condon, based on the 1992 stage musical, itself based on Manuel Puig's 1976 novel (which had been previously adapted in 1985). It stars Diego Luna, Tonatiuh, and Jennifer Lopez. The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival on January 26, where it received generally positive reviews from critics. It was released theatrically in the United States on October 10, by Lionsgate Films, Roadside Attractions and LD Entertainment. It was a box-office bomb, grossing $2 million against a production budget of $30 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
