Aimee and Jaguar

I was wondering if anyone else besides me had seen this amazing movie. It opened at the Berlin Film Festival and the two leads, Maria Schrader and Juliane Kohler, shared the Best Actress Award.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this film.

This is a lovely German film. It's based on real events. A complicated and tragic lesbian love story, set during World War two, the film is quite complex and wonderful.

The leads are mesmerizing. If you watch the DVD version you can see pictures of the real ladies in the stories and examine certain documents from their lives.

The English subtitles are well done unlike a certain Brazilian film I saw recently, they actually make sense and move the story forward well.

I highly recommend it.

What was the certain Brazilean film you saw recently with the subpar subtitles?

In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Antoinia was the other movie.
