Chasing the Light is Oliver Stone’s intimate and groundbreaking 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 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.
