Smithereens (1982)

from Crit Club · host Crit Club

Who is this? The question, seen pasted on so many ragged flyers in the hell hole that was 1980s New York City, is one the Crit Club tries to answer this week as we discuss Susan Seidelman's debut film, Smithereens. This small drama, set against the spastic doldrums of a post-punk aesthetic, gave us plenty to discuss about the lifestyle, the nostalgia and the city that inspired it. Come find out whether we vibed with its feedback or took the first $600 van we could find out to New Hampshire. Other things we mentioned: Vagabond Desperately Seeking Susan WandaVision Promising Young Woman Mazes and Monsters Join us next week, when we vault forward into the dystopian days ahead with Ngozi Onwurah's Afrofuturist film from 1995, Welcome II the Terrordome.
