Nina Paley's , Sita sings the blues has done it's round on all of the desi blogs. But it hasn't got the proper gushing at Masala chai. This Brooklyn based animator and the Ramayana would probably have never have crossed paths if it weren't for her brief yet fateful move to Kerala.
Nina's musical explores Sita's side of the epic, in what she calls 'the greatest breakup story ever told'. A curvy, sensous, almost diva like Sita takes centre stage , illustrated in a wild mix of colours and emblems both ethnic & contemporary. Set to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita sings the blues promises to be a fiesty visual journey through time.
I can't wait for it to show in India. The trailer looks all action packed and masalafied.
