Another Day in Paradise, Clark's sophomore effort, represents the closest he's ever gotten to making a mainstream film. The movie is Clark's vision of the outlaw lifestyle...

A well-executed scene can be followed by another where Clark shows no sense of the tone of which he'd just been in such tight control.

Director Larry Clark has served up another gritty look at lowlife scum, but the results this time aren't nearly as fascinating.

This is a strong, powerful movie.
