Sita Sings the Blues


This is a great animation created by Nina Paley. It is based on the Indian epic Ramayana. It a great piece of ingenious art. The Ramayana (Devanāgarī: रामायण, Rāmāyaṇa) is an ancient Sanskrit epic. It is attributed to the Hindu sage Valmiki and forms an important part of the Hindu canon. It depicts the duties of relationships, portraying ideal characters like the ideal servant, the ideal brother, the ideal wife and the ideal king. Nina Paley's version combines this epic story with modern thinking, beautiful animations and 1920's Jazz Music. I truly recommended it.
