As part of a magazine celebrating this year’s best actors, the New York Times has put together a murky, monochromatic set of film noir vignettes. The kicker? They were all shot in 360 degrees, giving you complete freedom over the camera angle. You’re also a participant of sorts — a mute character, watching as Hollywood’s brightest stars talk to you in flowery, cryptic tones. (The conversations are rather one-sided, of course.) In each video, you take on a different role — a bartender, a reporter, or a cheating husband, for instance — and get just a couple of minutes to piece together what’s been happening. They’re all short, but powerful scenes.

If you like the project, I also recommend watching this behind the scenes video, posted earlier on Vrroom. It delves deeper into the set and thought process behind each piece.
