Another Day In Hollywood in Film Costumes & Festivals Directory

At a critical moment in Another Day in Paradise, Melanie Griffith, who plays an aging junkie named Sid, turns to her partner, Mel James Woods, and says, Im a junkie and a thief; Im no role model. The words couldve come straight from the life of the films director, Larry Clark. Weeks before the films release, 59yearold Clark checked himself into a Los Angeles treatment center after yet another relapse into his longtime addiction to heroin.Another Day in Paradise, Clarks second film, doesnt pack the shockvalue wallop of Kids, but its far from a comfortable ride. Based on a novel by excon Eddie Little, Paradise tells the story of two aging junkies Woods and Griffith who mentor two young lovers Vincent Kartheiser and Natasha Gregson Wagner in the life of crime. Clark says he chose to make Paradise because it was a Hollywood movie. It was fun for me to do, to take something familiar and do it the way I thought it should be done.
