Review of Another Day in Paradise (1998) by Fred T — 08 Feb 2015
Truly remarkable indie filmaking. Larry Clark is a visionary genius! No filmmaker has confidently depicted such strong/dark subject matter with such a keen eye and the most utter realism that Clark has in film.
Add James Woods, Melanie Griffith, Vincent Kartheiser & you have an American Classic which is a toxic cocktail of Bonnie and Clyde, Gus Van Sants Drugstore Cowboy, mixed with the kenetic energy of Scorsese's Casino .
It still carries the trademark visuals of a Larry Clark film; naturalistic scenes of improvised dialogue, illicit behavior among youthes, shocking violence, unflinching nudity, and sexuality. This truly should have been Larry Clark's arrival into mainstream cinema, with its 70's themed soundtrack, star-studded supporting cast (notably lou diamond phillips) and the visceral portrayel of life of the outlaw.
Pulp Fiction eat your heart out! 90's filmmaking at its very best!!!!
