Product Description

Product Description

It is wartime Germany and Lilly Wust (Julianne Kohler), a middle-class Nazi wife and Felice Schragenheim (Maria Schrader), a Jewish activist, embark on a forbidden love affair. Based on a true story and shot in a naturalistic style, the film portrays the trials and tribulations of day to day life under Hitler's regime, and the tragic effects of the women's doomed romance on themselves and the men around them.

From the Back Cover

Nominated for a Golden Globe award and Germany's official submission for a Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award, Max Faerberboeck's Aimee & Jaguar is the tender, elegiac account of a forbidden love affair set against the backdrop of wartime Germany. In Performances that garnered them Silver Bears at the 1999 Berlin International Film Festival, Juliane Koehler (Lily Wust) and Maria Schrader (Felice Schragenheim) play the eponymous Aimee & Jaguar, an exemplar of Nazi motherhood and a politically commited Jewes respectively who on a transgressive love affair that will ultimately shatter their lives. Based on the acclaimed book by Erica Fischer, Aimee & Jaguar is an uplifting love story totally unlike any other.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best love story i've ever seen 27 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
Aimee and Jaguar is probably one of the best films i've seen this year. A love story between a Nazi's wife and a Jew set in war torn Berlin is an appealing idea, but also throw into the mix a lesbian affair and a tormenting ending,and you wont be dissapointed. And to finish off - this is a real story! Sad, tragic, exciting,brilliant, and some rather excellent acting aswell!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent film 4 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
I was very moved by this film based on a true story.
The movie takes place in Berlin during second world war. You follw the relationship between a German nazi officer's wife and a Jewish girl, together they discover real love. But being gay and/or jewish doesn't make life easy in Nazi Germany. Will they ever be able to find a way of living togehter in this dangerous world. The two caracters are outstandingly brouhgt to live by Maria Schrader and Juliane Kohler.

3.0 out of 5 stars brilliant..but.... 4 Aug 2006
By Ms. Laura L. Henry
Format:VHS Tape
I think this is a beautiful film and totally agree with the other reviews here, my only gripe is that the quality of the recording is very bad, it felt like I was watching a very old and much watched vhs film (I bought a brand new dvd) or a pirate copy of the film,very strange, as the release date is only 2001. I found this element to be quite distracting from what is otherwise quite an astounding film
