You could call it art for the ADD afflicted, and that might explain why I found it so interesting. I couldn't stop rewatching these intriguingly sinister bits of cinematography directed by Alex Prager as featured on the NY Times. Touch of Evil features the top film performers of the year in short clips inspired by infamous characters some of us will recognize immediately.
You'll definitely want to watch and rewatch these dreamy videos, and take a moment to figure out the inspiration behind each one. If you don't know the backstory, don't worry! Each one is provocative enough in its own right to inspire a day's worth of dreams.

These are great! It almost feels like watching a painting with each one. I'd love to read more about them but I can't seem to find too much info. I've made do with reading about Alex Prager herself. Her other short films and photography, on her website, are similarly great. Thanks for the introduction!

Gary Oldman's was definitely the creepiest!
