Nina Paley’s animated film is a one-of-a-kind knockout, winner of many festival awards. Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama; Nina is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by email. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, SITA SINGS THE BLUES earns its tagline as “The Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told.” Sponsored by Northfield Savings Bank. Post-film event: Actor Aseem Chhabra will discuss the film at the Saturday, March 28, and Sunday, March 29, shows. (creator Nina Paley is no longer able to attend) Review
