Oliver Stone Is Just Happy Vladimir Putin Was Nice Enough to Spend 20 Hours With Him
Latest
Oliver Stone appeared on Monday night’s The Late Show to promote his Vladimir Putin documentary and looked every bit uncomfortable as Stephen Colbert questioned the director’s alarmingly unchallenging interview with a dictator.
For his four-part documentary, The Putin Interviews, available on Showtime, Stone spent 20 hours with Putin, enough time for the Russian head of state to enforce his agenda and offer little substantial information. Last night, Colbert aired a documentary clip in which Putin, when asked about interfering in elections, tells Stone, “Unlike many partners of ours, we never interfere within domestic affairs of other countries.” The devious expression on Putin’s face in the clip suggests otherwise.
