Overview

Smithereens is a 1982 film categorized under the genres of drama, music, and romance. The production, which has a runtime of one hour and thirty-four minutes, received a rating of R and was released in the United States on November 9, 1982. The narrative follows a narcissistic runaway who engages in a series of parasitic relationships with various individuals within the waning punk scene of New York. The film is distinct from the American rock band of the same name, which formed in 1980 in Carteret, New Jersey. That musical group consists of members Pat DiNizio, Jim Babjak, Mike Mesaros, and Dennis Diken. While the band shares the title of the film, they are separate entities. The movie is marketed with the tagline that the protagonist was a legend in her own mind.
