Movie Reviews: "Aimee and Jaguar" GBLT German Lesbian Drama

Aimée & JaguarImage via Wikipedia
True story. A real tear-jerker. That's EXACTLY why I hate DRAMAS. This one snuck up on me after finding myself on a Netflix page about both Suspense and Forbidden Love.

It's about two women who fall in love during Nazi Germany (one, the wife of a Nazi soldier and the other, a Jewish journalist). I'm half German by the way, actually born there but proud of being one quarter French, as well (I guess, if I think about it, that makes me 3/4 German).

My (step) father was in the American Air Force. My Grandfather, on my mother's side, died as a Nazi soldier, and my husband's GrossMutter or OMA (german for Grandmother was Jewish). I find that so curious and so sad.

One of the women (from this film) is still alive. The other... we can certainly guess what happened to her.

It's a strange strange world. If you enjoy the epic Historical Dramas, tales of war, and sad sad love stories, this one's your cup of tea. Plenty of tears and lots of, what I call, decent nudity too.

Note: Sub-titles.
