*** 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. Written fearlessly with intense detail and colour,
this is what it's like to make films on the edge.
