Synopsis

In 1943, as World War II's Battle of Berlin rages, with air raids forcing families into their cellars for shelter and bombs exploding all over the city, Felice Schragenheim (Juliane Kohler) and Lilly Wust (Maria Schrader), fall in love. Director Max Farberbock's AIMEE & JAGUAR tells the true story of this passionate, forbidden love affair, adapted from the 1998 book of the same title by Erica Fischer.
Felice, a dark and beautiful Jewish woman who is constantly in danger of being apprehended by the Gestapo, works for a Nazi newspaper under a false name, feeding what she learns to underground resistance leaders. Lilly, a flowery blond housewife living in bourgeoise comfort, raises 4 little boys, passing the time until her Nazi husband, Gunther, returns from the war. When the two meet, and Felice makes advances, Lilly responds, falling into total submission under Felice's spell. They nickname each other Aimee (Lilly) and Jaguar (Felice), spending every night dancing to popular 40s jazz music with Felice's eccentric lesbian friends, and every day raising the four boys who treat Felice like a second mother. It is not until the end of their affair, when Lilly--and soon thereafter, the authorities--learns that Felice is a Jew, and tragedy befalls the couple.

3.0 out of 5 stars brilliant..but...., 4 Aug 2006
This review is from: Aimee And Jaguar [VHS] [2001] (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

5.0 out of 5 stars The best love story i've ever seen, 27 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Aimee And Jaguar [VHS] [2001] (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
This review is from: Aimee And Jaguar [VHS] [2001] (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.
