Oliver Stone says he loves 'prolific' Indian cinema
London: Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone says he loves Indian cinema because of its flexibility to switch between comedy, romance and tragedy in a single story. Stone said Indian
cinema was 'very prolific and vital' and he had used that vitality in his 1994
film 'Natural Born Killers'. "Indian cinema is very prolific. I can't keep up.
I used that vitality in 'Natural Born Killers'. I love that the films switch from
comedy to romance and then to tragedy. I love that," the BBC quoted Stone as
saying.
Stone is in Mumbai to receive a lifetime achievement award at a prominent film
festival. On whether he would make a film in India, Stone said he would love to
"if there was a great story". "If there was a great story, if I had Danny Boyle's
luck, I'd make Slumdog Millionaire. There was a good detective story [based in
India] written two years ago but...," he said.
