Sita Sings the Blues - Wogma Readers Reviews

Sita Sings the Blues

Annette Hanshaw, Aseem Chhabra, Bhavana Nagulapally, Manish Acharya, Reena Shah, Sanjiv Jhaveri Dir: Nina Paley
wogma rating: Buy the DVD already (?)
quick review: You know you’re in for a treat the minute you see the level of animation in Sita Sings the Blues. It’s cute and simple and yet incorporates multiple layers to tell one legendary story. Paley has found a way to mix the two most strikingly opposite forms of art – the blues and traditional Indian mythology in a way that lends to the flavour of the film. It’s a set of vibrant versions of The Ramayana that should not be missed.

I haven't seen the film, but strangely, your review does feel a little incomplete. It does seem as if there was a lot to be said, but you just left it hanging. I'll watch the film and let you know what I actually think of both - the film as well as the review.

Ms. Ramakrishnan - I loved this movie, too, and agree completely with your review of it.

Pradeep - to be fair, there's not much she can do without "giving the movie away". Even if the tale is older than the ones I learned in (Protestant) Sunday School, it's how it's told by Ms. Paley that makes this version unique - both the half-remembered versions of the story by the trio of Indians contradicting and correcting each other, the "Wikipedia" version that Westerners like myself and Ms. Paley kind-of vaguely heard of, and the modern story of Ms. Paley's failing marriage to a husband who moved to India - and stayed.

The best way to complete the review, honestly, is to see the movie itself - http://www.sitasingstheblues.com/watch.html to see the movie for free online, or you can purchase it from the site or on Amazon.
