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

The Bride of Death (Italian: Sposa nella morte!) is a 1915 Italian silent drama film directed by Emilio Ghione and starring Lina Cavalieri. It was shot on location in Paris and Rome, with Cavalieri's contract giving her a percentage of the profits. It was released in the United States the following year, under the alternative title of The Shadow of Her Past, but was not well received. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
