Stone himself serves as guide to this noholdsbarred retrospectivean extremely candid and comprehensive monograph of the renowned and controversial writer, director, and cinematic historian in interview form.Over the course of five years, Academy Awardwinning filmmaker Oliver Stone (Midnight Express, Scarface, Platoon, JFK, Natural Born Killers, Snowden) and New York Times bestselling author Matt Zoller Seitz (The Wes Anderson Collection) discussed, debated, and deconstructed the arc of Stone's outspoken, controversial life and career with extraordinary candor. This book collects those conversations for the first time, including anecdotes about Stone's childhood, Vietnam, his struggles with posttraumatic stress disorder, and his continual struggle to reinvent himself as an artist. Their dialogue is illustrated by hundreds of neverbeforeseen photographs and documents from Stone's personal archive, dating back to Stone's birth: personal snapshots, private correspondence, annotated script pages and storyboards, behindthescenes photography, and production files from all of his films to datethrough 2016's Snowden, and including Stone's epic Showtime miniseries Untold HIstory of the United States. Critical commentary from Seitz on each of Stone's films is joined by original essays from filmmaker Ramin Bahrani; writer, editor, and educator Kiese Laymon; writer and actor Jim Beaver; and film critics Walter Chaw, Michael Guarnieri, Kim Morgan, and Alissa Wilkinson.At once a complex analysis of a master directors vision and a painfully honest critical biography in widescreen technicolor, The Oliver Stone Experience is as daring, intense, and provocative as Stones filmsit's an Oliver Stone movie about Oliver Stone, in the form of a book.Both this book and Stones highly anticipated film, Snowden, will be released in September 2016 to coincide with Stones 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.
