Scarecrow Video presents SMITHEREENS
** This screening is exclusively for all current Grand Illusion Cinema members and $50 level Scarecrow Video members. **
Susan Seidelman established her distinctive vision of New York City 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 spark plug in fishnetsmoves to the city with the mission of becoming famous. When not pasting up self-promotional flyers or hanging at the Peppermint Lounge, shes getting involved with Paul (Brad Rinn), 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 downtown in the 1980s, with an alternately moody and frenetic soundtrack by the Feelies and others, Smithereensthe first American independent film to compete for the Palme dOris an unfaded snapshot of a bygone era.
