Sita Sings the Blues
“The Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told.”
AnimationDramaMusicRomanceFantasy
Utilizing the 1920s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, the epic Indian tale of exiled prince Ramayana and his bride Sita is mirrored by a spurned woman's contemporary personal life, and light-hearted but knowledgeable discussion of historical background by a trio of Indian shadow puppets.
VIBE
A dreamy, jazz-infused journey weaving ancient myth with modern heartache. It feels like a whispered secret, a poignant ballad sung under a San Francisco moon, exploring love's trials with gentle humor and a touch of melancholy.
