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.

How it feels

A tailor's assistant uses his resemblance to a customer to pretend to be a gentleman. He needs the customer's fancy suit for his scheme, which leads to a chaotic chase at the end.

What happens

Sein letzter Anzug ist ein kurzes deutsches Stummfilmlustspiel aus dem Jahre 1915 von und mit Ernst Lubitsch. Lubitsch gibt diesmal einen Schneidergehilfen, der seine verblüffende Ähnlichkeit mit einem Kunden dazu ausnutzt, einmal als Kavalier auftreten zu können. Dafür benötigt er den titelgebenden feinen Anzug, und zwar denjenigen, den der Kunde, ein geprellter Liebhaber, zum Aufbügeln abgegeben hat. Das slapstickhafte Finale bildet ein großer Wettlauf.
