Ask yourself: does it get better than Bruce Willis’ self sufficient apartment in the 5th Element? And the answer is no, no it doesn’t. It’s a claustrophobic but somehow freeing space.

You can reach and touch everything: coffee, phone, monstrous intergalactic weapons.

The whole concept of food delivery is turned upside down, the same way Besson turned the world on its head when he made cars fly in the sky. Take-out becomes take-in.
