Oliver Stone is one of the grand masters of American cinema. A multiple Academy Awardndash;winning screenwriter and director (Midnight Express; Scarface; Platoon; JFK; Natural Born Killers; Snowden); he is as well known for his outspoken; controversial political beliefs as he is for his innovative films. Here; Stone and author Matt Zoller Seitz discuss the arc of Stonersquo;s life and work with extraordinary candor. The cinematic mastermind shares anecdotes about Vietnam; his childhood; his struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder; and his continual struggle to reinvent himself as an artist. The book includes never-before-seen material that dates back to Stonersquo;s childhood in the 1950s; personal snapshots; private correspondence; annotated script pages and storyboards; and behind-the-scenes photography. At once a complex analysis of a master directorrsquo;s vision and a painfully honest autobiography; The Oliver Stone Experience promises to be as daring; intense; and provocative as Stonersquo;s films. Both this book and Stonersquo;s highly anticipated film; Snowden; will be released in September 2016 to coincide with Stonersquo;s seventieth birthday (September 15; 1946). Also available from Matt Zoller Seitz: Mad Men Carousel; The Wes Anderson Collection: Bad Dads; The Wes Anderson Collection: The Grand Budapest Hotel; and The Wes Anderson Collection.
