Smithereens is a 1982 film 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 1982 Cannes Film Festival.
