Smithereens (film)

Smithereens (film)

Smithereens is a 1982 movie directed by Susan Seidelman and starring Susan Berman, Brad Rinn, and punk rock icon Richard Hell.

The movie is about Wren (Berman), a self-promoting Jersey girl desperate to break into the downtown Manhattan music scene. But with no money or talent, she bounces between a nice guy artist (Rinn) who lives in his van and an arrogant musician (Hell) who lives off of anyone who will let him.

"Smithereens" also marked the debut of Oscar-nominated screenwriter Ron Nyswaner ("Philadelphia") and features a score by The Feelies. It was the first American independent film invited to compete for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
