Description: "Now updated to include Nixon and U Turn, The Cinema of Oliver Stone examines, with a clear critical eye, all of Stone's work.

Included are: Salvador, Stone's vivid and controversial film about the U.S. in Latin America; Platoon, a top-grossing saga of an infantryman's Vietnam experience; Wall Street, a dramatization of the Decade of Greed; The Doors, a definitive view of Sixties Pop Culture; JFK, an obsession that has divided a nation; Natural Born Killers, an explosive look at crime, violence, and fame; and more.".

"The Cinema of Oliver Stone shows how the movies were inspired, how they were made, and what the critics and other filmmakers have said. Also included are analyses of films Stone worked on as a writer but not as a director: Midnight Express, Conan the Barbarian, Scarface, and others."--BOOK JACKET.
