Movie night featured screening of Aimée & Jaguar at Union Temple

Union Temple honors LGBT
Pride NYC with our June movie night featured screening of Aimée & Jaguar on Wed. June 18, 2013, Refreshments at 7
pm, Screening: 7:15-9:30 pm, 3rd Floor. 

Aimée
& Jaguar was made in 1998 and is
in German with English subtitles. Based on a true story about two women who
fall in love in Germany during WWII in 1943 Berlin, Lilly (aka Aimée) is a married woman, mother of four sons, and
an exemplar of Nazi motherhood.  . For
her, this affair will be the most decisive experience of her life.   For the
other woman, Felice (aka Jaguar) a Jewess and member of the underground, their
love fuels her with the hope that she will survive. 

A half-century later,
Lilly Wust told her incredible story to writer Erica Fischer, and the book, Aimée
& Jaguar, first published in
1994 immediately became a bestseller and has since been translated into eleven
languages. Max Färberböck's debut film, based on Fischer's book, is the true
story of this extraordinary relationship. The film was nominated for a 1999
Golden Globe Award and was Germany's submission for the Best Foreign Language
Film Oscar. Both actresses received Silver Bears at the 1999 Berlin
International Film Festival for their portrayals of "Aimée" and
"Jaguar".
