Smithereens 1982

 This movie is worth watching if you are a Richard Hell fan. It's not the best punk movie but it is worth seeing.


Smithereens is a 1982 American drama film directed by Susan Seidelman[1] and starring Susan Berman, Brad Rijn (billed as "Brad Rinn"), and Richard Hell.[2] The film follows a narcissistic, young woman[3] from New Jersey who comes to New York City to join the waning punk subculture, only to find that she's gravitated towards Los Angeles; in order to pay her way across country, she engages in a number of parasitic relationships, shifting her allegiances to new "friends" in an ongoing effort to ultimately endear herself to someone who will finance her desired lifestyle.[4]
