Celebrities such as Cate Blanchett, Bradley Cooper, Robert Redford and Oprah among others participated in an interactive feature by The New York Times Magazine titled Making a Scene. “The year’s best big screen performers,” 11 of them, star in their own avant-garde short film directed by cinematographer Janusz Kaminski and features text written by actors and writers. Defamer gives a quick rundown of each short.
Cate Blanchett makes a fish’s eyeball pop out of its face.
Bradley Cooper dances in water.
Robert Redford makes a strong case for carbs.
Oprah eulogizes how she’d feel if James Frey passed away (probably).
Greta Gerwig loathes taxidermy.
Forest Whitaker types words.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus demonstrates the importance of gun safety.
Michael B. Jordan is perfection on a horse. (No really, he is perfection, and he is on a horse.)
Oscar Isaac contemplates death.
Chiwetel Ejiofor meets justice.
Adele Exarchopolous laughs maniacally.
My favorite one is Bradley Cooper’s because it just looks like he’s splashing in puddles like a 5-year-old. In all seriousness though, James Franco is probably furiously masturbating to these short films right this minute.
