Chasing The Light - How I Fought My Way into Hollywood - THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER (Stone Oliver)(Paperback / softback) - diskuze

*** THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER I loved it. An amazing book. - Louis Theroux A rip-roaring read. It left me breathless. - Chris Evans, Virgin Radio Raw, savagely honest, as dramatic as any of his movies. - Mail on Sunday A tremendous book - readable, funny and harrowing. - The Sunday Times Riveting. - The New York Times A fascinating exposure of Stone's inner life and his powerful, all devouring energy and genius that drove him to become one of the world's greatest filmmakers. - Sir Anthony Hopkins ... a Hollywood movie in itself. - Spike Lee Chasing the Light is Oliver Stone's intimate and ground-breaking filmmaker's memoir - and a razor-sharp insider's tour of Hollywood during its 70s and 80s upheaval. With disarming honesty, he takes us from a childhood on New York's Upper East Side through the combat zones of Vietnam, inside the clandestine worlds of Chinatown's gang lords and Miami's cocaine trade - and behind the glittering and often drug-addled Los Angeles movie society scene. And from Midnight Express through Scarface, and Salvador he discovers his own dogged determination, a marked rebellious streak and a drive to make controversial films that matter. How he strung together the realistic, radical and ultimately box office smash Platoon is in itself a 10-year adventure of financial intrigue, perseverance and near-death experiences that culminates in the depths of the Philippine jungle with Stone pushing himself, the crew and young cast almost beyond breaking point.
