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

L'Ordonnance è un film muto del 1921 diretto da Viktor Tourjansky. La sceneggiatura si basa su L'attendente, racconto di Guy de Maupassant pubblicato nel 1887 su Gil Blas e inserito in seguito, nel 1889, nella raccolta La mano sinistra. Il regista avrebbe poi diretto un altro adattamento del racconto con un nuovo L'Ordonnance, film del 1933 che aveva come interpreti Fernandel, Jean Worms e Marcelle Chantal.
