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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Becky Sharp, a clever and ambitious young woman from a poor background, rises through English society in the early 1800s. The story follows her schemes and struggles alongside the lives of her more fortunate friend Amelia Sedley. It is a wry look at social climbing and the costs of ambition.
