FEELING MINNESOTA A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli RATING (0 TO 10): 6.5 Alternative Scale: **1/2 out of **** United States, 1996 U.S. Release Date: 9/13/96 (wide) Running Length: 1:35 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Profanity, sex, violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1 Cast: Keanu Reeves, Vince D'Onofrio, Cameron Diaz, Dan Aykroyd, Delroy Lindo, Tuesday Weld, Michael Rispoli, Courtney Love Director: Steven Baigleman Producers: Danny DeVito, Michael Shamberg, Stacey Sher Screenplay: Steven Baigleman Cinematography: Walt Lloyd Music: Los Lobos U.S. Distributor: Fine Line Features The Soundgarden song goes, "I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota." In Steven Baigleman's FEELING MINNESOTA, the characters may be looking to Las Vegas, but they're still feeling Minnesota, which is where most of the movie takes place. I think my most frequent complaint about movies is that they're not original enough. That's one accusation I won't be leveling at FEELING MINNESOTA, for, while this twisted romantic comedy is far from an example of perfect film making, it is quirky, offbeat, and highly original. Take a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, set them down in a universe that feels like it was created by pop-culture wannabe-god Quentin Tarantino, and throw in dashes of THE STING, Dostoevsky, and the absurdist humor of MONTY PYTHON, and you still haven't quite got what FEELING MINNESOTA is offering. Writer/director Baigleman has cheerfully thrown all the formulas out the window. I suppose it's possible to guess at the outcome of certain events, but, in general, this movie defies prediction. Some of the twists are decidedly bizarre, but it's precisely because this movie is willing to take chances that I'm giving it a marginal recommendation. I'll admit that I didn't always feel comfortable watching FEELING MINNESOTA -- it's a gritty, grungy film with thoroughly dislikeable characters -- but I admired what Baigleman was trying to do, even when his attempts went astray. The opening of FEELING MINNESOTA introduces us to Freddie (Cameron Diaz), who, dressed in a wedding gown, is fleeing from her former boss, Red (Delroy Lindo), an underworld-type. Red has plans to punish Freddie, who he believes stole $10,000 from him. He's going to force her to marry his most loyal employee, Sam Clayton (Vincent D'Onofrio), because, in his words, "It's the worst thing I could think to do to you." Despite the bride's reluctance, the ceremony takes place. In attendance is Sam's younger brother, Jjaks (Keanu Reeves), a repeat offender criminal who despises all of his blood relations. There is immediate electricity between Jjaks and Freddie, and, while the reception is going on outside Sam's house, the pair retires inside for some quick sex. Afterwards, when Jjaks announces his intention to hit the road again, Freddie begs him to take both her and Sam's private stock of cash with him. Then, together, they can head to Las Vegas, her vision of paradise-on-Earth. I'm reasonably sure that Baigleman intended for FEELING MINNESOTA to be a comedy, but, primarily because the tone is so grim (people are always dying unexpectedly), it's difficult to find much that's funny. Anyone expecting to laugh their head off is in for a bummer. FEELING MINNESOTA's sense of humor is bleak -- this picture is a prime example of a black comedy. I mean, two guys sitting on opposite sides of a road, pelting each other with rocks is ludicrous, but hardly likely to cause waves of uncontrollable laughter. And, as was the case in TRUE ROMANCE, the love affair between the man and woman is far less important than the one between the men and their guns. On top of that, it's impossible to sympathize with the characters -- they're all a bunch of intellectually dim, lowlife criminals for whom betrayal and backstabbing are second nature. For the most part, I'm not a big Keanu Reeves fan. But, despite his limited range, he's right for Jjaks. His performance in FEELING MINNESOTA never caused me to wince. Cameron Diaz, who has been appearing in a number of independent productions (including THE LAST SUPPER and SHE'S THE ONE) continues to show great promise. Even under all the grime of FEELING MINNESOTA, her charisma shines through. Vincent D'Onofrio, who usually plays inoffensive supporting roles, is effective here as Sam the bully. Dan Aykroyd has a sometimes-amusing, sometimes-irritating part as a crooked police officer infatuated with Freddie (his fake accent makes him sound like he wandered over from FARGO). Ultimately, I probably liked the idea of FEELING MINNESOTA more than I enjoyed the execution. Nevertheless, when the end credits rolled, I was reasonably satisfied because I had just experienced something a little different. FEELING MINNESOTA certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea, and, despite the drawing power of Keanu Reeves, I'm not sure it was wise to expose the film to such a wide distribution (it invites disappointment). But, if you're tired of routine, "feel good", Hollywood fare and are looking for something a little Tarantino- ish and a lot unusual, FEELING MINNESOTA will leave you feeling pleasantly surprised. - - James Berardinelli e-mail: berardin@bc.cybernex.net ReelViews web site: http://www.cybernex.net/~berardin - ------ Internet Message Header Follows ------ Path: spool.mu.edu!howland.erols.net!newsserver.jvnc.net!news.merck.com!cam-news-feed1.bbnplanet.com!cpk-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!www.nntp.primenet.com!nntp.primenet.com!news.sgi.com!enews.sgi.com!arclight.uoregon.edu!netnews.worldnet.att.net!anchor.cis.att.com!cbgw1.lucent.com!nntphub.cb.lucent.com!not-for-mail From: berardin@bc.cybernex.net (James Berardinelli) Newsgroups: rec.arts.movies.reviews Subject: REVIEW: FEELING MINNESOTA (1996) Followup-To: rec.arts.movies.current-films Date: 18 Sep 1996 17:34:10 GMT Organization: - Lines: 104 Sender: eleeper@lucent.com (Evelyn C.

I often wonder if the people who write horribly scathing flames (I'm not thinking of anyone in particular here, so don't get defensive) and some of the really nasty personal emails I've been subjected to at times actually talk to people like that face to face. I truly hope not. I feel that people deserve respect, whether you know them personally or you are simply on an anonomous mailing list, and even if you vehemently disagree with what they say. I'm not saying we shouldn't flame people, or argue, just do it without such shitty attitudes. As the old cliche goes "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar". Sometimes someone may say something you think is really stupid, but if you address that "something" in a decent way you may find that you agree with that person on alot of other things. deb is right. We all are on this list because we love Soundgarden (at least that's supposed to be the case). But that doesn't mean our personalities are all the same, or that we look the same, or like the same other music, or the same Soundgarden songs for that matter. I think people tend to take some of the posts too personally. I know I've been guilty of that too, and I guess it is appropriate if a flame is directed specifically to you, but otherwise, lighten up people. Which brings me to the Chris Cornell pictures again. We've had a thread about aging and looks and then people are talking about how awful Chris looks, most of you probably still drooling over pictures of him from the mid to late 80's. Yep, even Chris Cornell is getting older, and his looks are changing and his voice is a bit different and God how we pick and pick and pick at him! This little thread has really bugged me. Its a good thing he seems to have a relatively good self concept. If he were less sure of himself he may just end up like Kurt Cobain. The man is beautiful, inside and out, and a genius on top of it. And personally I don't think he looks "sick" at all, just thin. It seems to me that Chris has been trying for years to get the emphasis off his looks. I can understand being concerned (as the thread several months ago about his drinking maybe being out of control showed), but after I saw the pictures for myself I just didn't see where the "concern" part was coming from, except that he looks different than he did during his Sex God days. Does that mean he's sick, though? Maybe sick of the continued focus on his looks. I wish I could think of an idea for a clever new thread, but I'm feeling sad and disillusioned right now. > Perhaps group therapy is in order? Interesting idea deb.

I do understand what you're saying, and to some extent I agree that Soundgarden records what they like, without regard to what the "suits" want, or what will be publicly accepted. Obviously I'm not getting across what I'm really trying to say. Actually I'm not talking about the business aspect at all, I'm talking about the artistic process. You mentioned writers block in relation to Drawing Flies, and I can see that, but I think that relates closely to what I said about the right-wingers stifling the process with encouraging "self-censorship". We don't know what was going on with him in his head, and who knows, the writers block could have come from a struggle with these issues. Which brings me to the idea of compromise. Even though I've described the band as uncompromising I'm going to risk being flamed to high heaven by changing my mind. But before you heat up the flame guns, let me clarify that. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines compromise as: a settlement of differences reached by mutual concessions; also: the agreement thus made Each and every one of us does this every day, to fit into our families, jobs, school, society, social groups, whatever. People who don't generally aren't very nice people. I am absolutely positive that Soundgarden does it in their daily dealings with each other as well as other people they know and in their business dealings. Compromise, in and of itself, is not necessarily a bad thing. And being true to themselves, hmm, here's another one people won't like. I do think Soundgarden are being true to themselves now, but I'm not sure they totally were in the beginning. Again, let me explain. We've had the discussion of the Chris Cornell as Sex God phenomenon and some people think he has been subjected to this against his will. I've thought and thought about this, and I agree with shroom. I think this image was a carefully calculated one which started with the decision to take him out from behind the drums. Anyone who is in a band now, or in some other performance art, must admit that when you get into it you hope for some level of success. If you didn't you would be content to play in your basement or your garage. And in order to get recognition sometimes you do things that are not necessarily bogus, but are a bit out of character. And I think thats what Soundgarden did, and it worked. Now they can drop the facade (and mind you, I'm talking about an external facade, not a musical one) and physically be more themselves, especially Chris. I read in an article that when Kim first met Chris, Chris reminded him of "some guy who just got out of the navy or something" because of his short hair and "slick" clothes (Rolling Stone, July 1992). Hmm, sounds like the long-haired sex god was a bit out of character for Chris. I've gone through a real evolution over the last six months in my Soundgarden mania, and it was very difficult at first. I have all these old articles and old interviews, etc. and shortly before DOTU came out I started seeing inconsistencies in the newer interviews. At first I had a hard time with that, but because I love Soundgarden so much I've come to accept that they are just human. Without selling out, or becoming commercial they have evolved and changed, too, but I think they have in many ways become MORE true to themselves, because now they have the financial and fan backing to at last totally drop any pretense. I admire and love Soundgarden with all my heart, but I've become more realistic in my expectations of them as people. Sorry for this long post, but I've been waxing philosophical lately. I would love to hear what other people who have been fans since the early days think about all this. Although I value the opinions of the newer fans I don't know if you have really experienced the evolution of the band like us oldies have. But, jump right in if you like.

Someone (again, I forget who...sorry) mentioned they were in a debate over whether BIMH is a heroin song. Taking the risk of overanalyzing lyrics that are not mine, I would have to say that it is not. It always seemed to me that song was talking about the truth (being a burden and such). Once that clicked in my feeble brain, it made the song 10 times more interesting and relevant in _my_ mind. Besides, remember that interview where Chris got *really* pissed about people interpreting his lyrics as being about heroin? After I read that, I scoured my SG collection to see what I thought. The _only_ song I found that even alludes to heroin was the FOBD demo. There is a line in there that goes *something* like: "Within the needle's grip, you feel the wheel slip from your hands. You'll be walking the devil's dog and carrying his groceries." If that is about heroin, it is very "anti-". That whole song gets me every time. It is really strange, BTW, how that song has nothing to do with plain old FOBD and it is considered a demo. I guess I don't know what else they would call it, but its not like the difference between Birth Ritual and its demo. Oh my God am I rambling or what? Anyway, that and She Likes Surprises (believe it or not) are the two B-sides that make me the happiest. And to throw a curve to the most recent survey, Flower is the SG disk that makes me the happiest (even though I stepped on it. :( ) Not my fave, but for some reason, I always get really excited about hearing those 3 songs in a group. Uh-oh...note to self: Shut-up! Later, A different Seth P.S. Victor, speaking of B-sides, your tape is in the mail, dude. I think it turned out pretty good, so I hope you like it.

All this talk about Soundgarden on limited edition vinyl has just reminded me I need some expert advice or an opinion on a copy of Screaming Life I have just bought for forty pounds (about 60 dollars?) It was advertised by Reckless Records in London ( a respected source, I think!) as one of the orginal 600 copies of Screaming Life that were pressed in orange vinyl. I don't normally bother with all the different SG formats/foreign editions/missprint covers etc- I aready have the songs on the CD - but I fancied owning my own bit of Soundgarden history. I bought it mail order and when it arrived it looked suspiciously 'mint' condition for something that was put out eleven years ago by a small indie label that no one knew at the time was going to be megabig. I mean, if I'd heard this great up and coming band from my hometown/state and went out and bought their record, I'd play it! I wouldn't think, wow, I'm going to save this, not play it ever and one day it might be worth $60! Yeah, I know people do that, but with Soundgarden in 87?

I quite like trying to figure out the meaning of Soundgarden's lyrics, but if I can't it doesn't stop me enjoying the songs anyway. You would not believe some of the interpretations I put on Like Suicide before I found out it was about an injured bird! Anyway, I just came across this quote from the man himself - " Most of the time, I don't even explain the words to myself." So now you know!

Now, some of you listers a while back said that SOUNDGARDEN was a confirmed starter for the Big Day Out. Where did you get your info from????? Of course there are still more bands to be confirmed (33 bands in all last year, so there's plenty of room for more as yet)......I'm hoping Soundgarden will be one. >Can anyone tell me that they know FOR SURE that SG will be there? Yeah, I noticed that and it's very scary!! In past years the bands first mentioned where made headliners which means Sepultura in this case, you would think Soundgarden has a bigger following then that!!! So it looks like SG are not headlinning the last BDO, and not even one of the major bands if they play!! I guess what this means tho is we get a proper tour!!!!! With full length shows in small venues :) With the line up so far of the BDO I am happy with SG doing their own tour. Plus a longer show in a better venue is always a plus.

That seems to be the going thing, and especially if CC is involved. My phone rang and CC was at the other end. He asked me to come over to his apartment and give him a haircut. He lived at this joint called Tanglewood which is in Pulaski, TN (I am from there but NO I am NOT a racist or a member of the KKK). Anyway, Tanglewood is one of those rent-based-on-income type of places, and not a place you could picture CC living. I went over there and proceeded to don a purple smock and cut his beautiful hair until there was none left. He held me in his lap and I cried a river--the rest is personal. HEE HEE! So, can anyone tell me why we humans dream this crazy sh**? I figure I dreamed it from reading about all of your dreams on the list, thereby associating it with SG, and of course it may have something to do with the fact that the last thing I see every night is SG. The haircut part is because I am a shampoo assistant in a salon, I guess. Anyway, thanks for listening, if you want to call it that.
