Oliver Stone has been hailed and vilified as "the director of the Sixties" for his socially concerned and politically charged films on Vietnam, Latin America, Wall Street, pop music, and the JFK assassination. Now in paperback for the first time, The Cinema of Oliver Stone is also updated to include an in-depth study of Nixon, one of Stone's most controversial and acclaimed reinterpretations, U Turn, and more recent plans. Aside from Platoon, Wall Street, JFK, The Doors, and Natural Born Killers, this book also considers the films Stone worked on as a writer but not as a director (Midnight Express, Conan the Barbarian, Scarface, and others). A complete and up-to-date filmography rounds out the book.
