Review: Bought this as a WWII history buff - and it is fantastic! - Didn't buy this one as a love story, or as a film about two ladies who fall in love, I bought this one because I'm seriously into WWII history, particularly German history, and I wanted to see the film. With that background out of the way, this is an absolutely fantastic movie. It's not trashy, it's not preaching any political motives, it's not offensive in any way, it's just a really good movie. If you're reading this, you already know the subject matter so I'll not waste your time rehashing what everyone else has said. Coming at this movie from the perspective of a history fanatic, they got all the little details right - and I was impressed! The wardrobe, the uniforms, the props, the cars, every bit of scenery, is spot-on perfect for wartime Berlin. The acting is top-notch, the camera work is as good as it gets, and the story is extremely well-written and the characters are all very well developed. My grandparents were German, so that is where my interest in wartime Germany stems from. As for the subject matter of the movie, my Opa was a teenage boy during that time and served in the Luftwaffe. He told me, many times, stories of wives and girlfriends throughout Germany that are very similar to this one, only without the espionage twist this tale has. Lesbianism, or perhaps more correctly bisexual behavior was apparently fairly common and widely tolerated during the war, and this is the only film I've seen thus far that tackles that subject and does it tastefully and with a great story as well. HIGHLY recommend this one to any history buffs interested in wartime Germany. Review: Enhanced Zeitgeist DVD is an improvement - "Aimee & Jaguar" is a beautifully photographed and convincingly performed drama set in Berlin in 1943 and 1944. The city was then subject to frequent Allied bombing raids; meanwhile the local Gestapo prowled the streets and factories to locate, arrest, and "deport" those young Berliner Jews who were still living there with forged identity papers and ration cards. For people living in hiding, one false step or careless word could be equivalent to a death sentence. This DVD is more accessible to international audiences because both the film and the "Making Of" extras are provided with excellent English subtitles. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005OLBC | | Actors | Elisabeth Degen, Heike Makatsch, Johanna Wokalek, Juliane Khler, Maria Schrader | | Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #100,897 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #984 in Foreign Films (Movies & TV) #1,442 in Military & War (Movies & TV) #4,004 in Romance (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (332) | | Director | Max Frberbck | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Language | German (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround) | | MPAA rating | NC-17 (Adults Only) | | Media Format | Anamorphic, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.28 x 7.52 x 0.67 inches; 3.25 ounces | | Release date | October 30, 2001 | | Run time | 2 hours and 5 minutes | | Studio | Zeitgeist Films | | Subtitles: | English | | Writers | Max Frberbck, Rona Munro | ## Product Details - **Format:** Anamorphic, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Military & War/World War II - **Language:** German - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 5 minutes ## Images ![Aimee and Jaguar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qXRVsK9zL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought this as a WWII history buff - and it is fantastic! *by N***R on June 9, 2014* Didn't buy this one as a love story, or as a film about two ladies who fall in love, I bought this one because I'm seriously into WWII history, particularly German history, and I wanted to see the film.

The city was then subject to frequent Allied bombing raids; meanwhile the local Gestapo prowled the streets and factories to locate, arrest, and "deport" those young Berliner Jews who were still living there with forged identity papers and ration cards. For people living in hiding, one false step or careless word could be equivalent to a death sentence. This DVD is more accessible to international audiences because both the film and the "Making Of" extras are provided with excellent English subtitles. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moving, though somewhat flawed, wartime drama *by P***E on January 13, 2014* Max Färberböck's first feature film is based upon Erica Fischer's book, chronicling the true story of Lilly Wust and Felice Schragenheim, and their lesbian affair in war torn Berlin. Both Maria Schrader (playing Felice) and Juliane Köhler (Lilly) were born in 1965, so they would have been about 34 years old when making the film, which was right for Lilly, who was about 31 when the events took place, but wrong for Felice, who was only about 22. This is one reason why the dynamics of the relationship - the why and how of their falling so passionately in love - are never made clear. The performances are fine - that's not the problem - but in addition to losing that age difference, the film simply does not devote enough attention to tracing the genesis of the love between the two titular characters. We see it happening but are not given sufficient clues about why it is happening. Nonetheless, the story itself is extraordinary, and well worth telling. If you are not familiar with the historical background, then you might well find the film confusing at times. The director seems to assume that many details, such as the failed assassination attempt on Hitler, which are central to the action, will be familiar to the viewer. The cinematography is excellent. The Allied bombing raids, the quiet moments in the park, the erotic episodes are all strikingly well done. The film is visually compelling throughout. The sense of place and the atmosphere of wartime Berlin are very strong. As might be expected, there is meticulous attention to period detail. Despite the caveats mentioned above, this is a very fine film and is recommended. The extras on this DVD include actual photographs of Lilly and Felice, taken on occasions that are featured in the film. To look at those pictures after seeing the film is a profoundly moving experience.
