 A beautiful thing...... April 25, 2008
This is an incredible, tender and at times heartbreaking film about two women who fall in love in wartime Berlin. This alone is a problem for Aimee and Jaguar, as although Lesbianism was not illegal in Nazi Germany, women who were found to be lesbians could still be sent off to camps and treating just as brutally as any other prisoners, add to this the fact that Felice (Jaguar) is a member of the Jewish underground and you know that the course of true love cannot run smooth. Witty, touching thought-provoking, this excellent piece of cinema should take pride of place in any film-lovers collection. The only down side to this DVD is that the quality is not the best, as other reviewers have mentioned, it does look rather like an old VHS recording. But if you can put up with this tiny niggling factor, you'll be rewarded with a little gem of a film.
A classic.. Could not be replaced yet.. January 9, 2008

This movie should be in everybody's collection and if you still have not bought it, buy it now! One of the best stories ever, amazing acting and I still cannot forget that scene when Aimee is crying and screaming when the soldiers leave the house. Both of the ladies are stunning!
Recording quality is not so good but still you will be easily into the movie after a few minutes of watching..
 I just didnt like it November 4, 2007

I bought this and was all geared up to watch it! The reviews all said that it was great etc and averaged 5 stars. So this was an good indicator and off I went!!!
10 minutes in I had had enough. But I thought i ought to give it a chance so carried on.
20 minutes in and I had had more then enough.
30 mins in I was suicidal. I was only watching at this stage because I still needed to know why everybody else reviewed it so highly!
I dont know what it is about his film that gets on my nerves so much. Im usually not bothered by subtitles but this one got to me. Also I didnt like the style of filiming nor did I find the characters believeable. I also didnt like the setting either. I know that there are a lot of people out there who will disagree with me on this. But I do watch a lot of movies and this unfotunately ranks in my bottom 5. Sorry!!
But to make amends I will give it another go! If I change my mind ill let you know but dont hold your breath!(Now where did I put those pills?)

I watched this on Sunday night and it is still on my mind two days later. It's one of thoses films that stays with you. It takes you on an emotional journey, set in war torn Germany seeing the destruction caused by the British bombs was provocative enough but add into the mix Jewish Lesbians contantly staying one step ahead of the Nazi concentration camps and a Mia Farrow sorrowful look-alike German wife (Lilly) who doesn't love her soldier husband. 4 kids later and she blossoms when she is wooed by poetic letters from her nanny's lover, the sexy confident Felice; though she doesn't know they're from a she! They fall inlove with all the pain of two people coming to terms with love in their situation and in that climate of fear. Wow. I loved it. And I'm so envious of anyone who hasn't seen it who is about to, it's a cinematic treat.
 brilliant..but.... August 4, 2006

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
