Review of Sita Sings the Blues (2008) by Adrian B — 12 Mar 2013
Unique animated feature that describes three parallel stories. The first two stories are of an Indian princess who is kidnapped by villains and held at ransom until her man finds her, only to reject her when he concludes that she had an affair with her captor (even though she didn't!).
Both stories differ in the fact that one is narrated by several characters in present day, while the other is narrated through songs, with the princess singing songs by Annette Hanshaw (who passed away in 1985, many years before the movie was even made).
The other story is of an American who relocates to India for work, leaving his woman behind in the U.S.A. When she travels to India, she receives little intimacy and later departs unsatisfied. Typical stories are given life thanks to the eye popping imagery and cartoons, which are wonderful to watch.
The songs are also nice too and we know when they end... "that's all!".
