Appearance
Untamed Heart
Directed by Tony Bill, Untamed Heart (1993) is a romantic drama set in the working-class neighborhoods of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Marisa Tomei stars as Caroline, a waitress at Jim's Coffee Shop, and Christian Slater plays Adam, the intensely shy busboy who secretly loves her from across the diner. When Adam intervenes to protect Caroline from an attack one night, a relationship tentatively begins — complicated by a secret Adam keeps about his heart.
Filmed entirely in Minneapolis — particularly in the northeast Minneapolis neighborhoods — the film captures a specific sense of Minnesota winter, urban modesty, and immigrant community that gives it an authentic local texture unusual in Hollywood productions of the era.
