Based on the 1993 feature film, Heaven and Earth, written and directed by Oliver Stone, this volume contains a narrative based on the screenplay and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie. An elegant reflection of director Stone's latest movie about the Vietnam War, this book includes a script adaptation, as well as commentary by Le Ly Hayslip, upon whose memoirs the film is based, and actress Hiep Thi Le, who plays Hayslip. There are also stunning still photographs of star Tommy Lee Jones, as well as of Thailand, which served as the location when Vietnam tried to impose conditions on Stone's filming. This movie ''adaptation'' serves as a lovely complement to the film on which it is based. Released simultaneously with the movie. Full color photographs; 153 pp.
