The last time Oliver Stone took to cable to present his worldview, it was “The Untold History of the United States.” Now the director takes his passion for finding another side into his latest four-hour project, “The Putin Interviews” (Showtime, 9 p.m.). Though he was scooped in getting the access by the Megan Kelley last week, Stone spends an inordinate amount of time with the Russian president, in sessions taped from July 2015 to just last February.
He asks about alleged Russian involvement in U.S. elections, aggression in the Ukraine and state persecution of gay people. But they also play hockey and watch “Dr. Strangelove.” Stone comes away with a lot of respect for the guy, maybe too much. It continues nightly through Thursday.
