SUSAN SEIDELMAN (Desperately Seeking Susan) established her distinctive vision of 1980s New York with this debut feature, the lo-fi original for her vibrant portraits of women reinventing themselves. After escaping New Jersey, the quintessentially punk Wren (SUSAN BERMAN)-a sparkplug in fishnets who lives dangerously downtown-moves to the city with the mission of becoming famous. When not pasting up flyers for herself or hanging at the Peppermint Lounge, she's getting involved with Paul (BRAD RIJN), the nicest guy to ever live in a van next to the highway, and Eric (RICHARD HELL), an aloof rocker. Shot on 16mm film that captures the grit and glam of the setting, with an alternately moody and frenetic soundtrack by the Feelies and others, Smithereens- the first independent American film to compete for the Palme d'Or-is an unfaded snapshot of a bygone era.
