O knihe

Oliver Stone is one of the most daring and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema, a man whose monumental films have lodged themselves into the world's collective consciousness. From Oscar winning classics like Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July, to controversial masterpieces such as Salvador and Natural Born Killers, Stone has consistently made us sit up, pay attention, think, and see the world from a different viewpoint, one that has often been outside the "official" narrative. A fearless maverick unafraid to express his opinions and reveal his conclusions, his movies are often deemed controversial, and it's certainly true that no one went away from an Oliver Stone film feeling indifferent. His work provokes reaction, encourages thought, and demands your full attention on both a visual and intellectual level. In this book, writer and musician Chris Wade takes a look at Oliver's staggering career as writer and director. A master of visual storytelling, Stone's movies are events, many of which have sparked major debate and achieved wide acclaim. His rich filmography also contains such gems as Nixon, JFK, Any Given Sunday, Heaven and Earth, and Wall Street, awe-inspiring films that will be re-watched and studied by generations of film-goers for as long as people remain interested in cinema as art. Featuring a foreword from regular Stone collaborator James Woods, THE FILMS OF OLIVER STONE is a warm and affectionate tribute to one of the cinema's finest artists.
