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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Exterior Night (Italian: Esterno notte) is a 2022 Italian-language drama film co-written and directed by Marco Bellocchio based on the kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro. The film is the second feature by Bellocchio based on the Moro case after Good Morning, Night, shot in 2003. Originally conceived as a RAI television miniseries, it premiered out of competition at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. It was then given a theatrical release in Italy as two films (titled Act I and Act II), before being aired on Rai 1 and on Netflix. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
