Jim Hemphill said One of our greatest critics interviews one of our greatest directors. Comprehensive, fascinating production history and analysis via one of our greatest critics interviewing one of our greatest directors, with tons of incredible art and documentation. One of the best books on a director I've ever read - if not THE best.. R. A. Bishop III said If you love/like Oliver Stone this is a MUST BUY.. I wish there were books this in depth about more directors. I've always like Oliver Stone, but he'd fallen off my radar until I heard an interview on the podcast Filmspotting with Matt Zoller Seitz. That led me to blind-buy The Oliver Stone Experience. Best blind-buy ever. It is an amazing dive into the mind of Oliver Stone, the time periods the movies were released, and the way they affected popular culture in their time. So much information (photos, essays, excerpts, reviews, etc.) that there is no way you will be disappointed. I love the movies and this is the pinnacle of books about. The best examination of his work since James Riordan's biography some Benny Max Essential for Stone fans. Magnificent. The best examination of his work since James Riordan's biography some years back
