Satisfying WWII-set romantic tragedy
14 November 2014
AIMEE & JAGUAR tells the tragic story of a doomed love affair between a Jewish lesbian and the wife of an SS officer. While it does get a little too melodramatic in parts, overall this is a touching story with great performances across the board and a beautiful score. The only technical aspect I didn't really care for was that the film looked very made-for-TV. However, the movie was directed by someone who has mainly worked in German television. The special effects were OK, with some good explosions when Berlin is being bombed (this takes place towards the end of WWII). Generally speaking, the production values are decent but don't really approach the level of a large studio film. Highly recommended to those who like WWII movies, particularly dealing with unorthodox/uncommon subjects, and anyone who likes a good love story.
