Susan Seidelman 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 16 mm 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.

A seemingly forgotten punk film from the 80's. It's a must see. I had it on VHS and wore it out. Had it on DVD and it got scratched up. I was shocked to find it available here in digital form. Don't rent it. Just buy it sight unseen. You won't regret it.
