#1 Cheap Sita Sings The Blues Reviews

The big animation houses blow through hundreds of millions of dollars on each their films, but never have and likely never will deliver the electric joy inspired by Nina Paley's masterpiece. The universe offers us only one force powerful enough to bind together the wildly disparate elements in this color-drenched musical--the epic traditions of Hindu scripture; the sweet, spicy, pungent flavor of Hinduism's kitsch art; a crinkly New Yorker-style tale of modern love on the rocks; a driving, cosmical, East-meets-West soundtrack; the fond but skeptical sound of average modern-day Indians dissecting their cultural heritage; and of course, the campy, touching torch songs of Annette Hanshaw. That irresistible force is Paley's priceless sense of artistry and humor--a huge, soft tiger's paw with its claws retracted, caressing rather than slashing its prey. This film is only a few years old, but I feel sure it is one of the greatest movies ever made. When I first saw it on the Internet, I wanted to pinch myself to see whether I only dreamed a film could be so delightful. When I saw it again in a theater, I realized that Sita may soon earn the evergreen stature of "The Wizard of Oz." I can think of no higher praise.
Sita Sings the Blues - J. myers -
This is a fantastic movie. It is wonderful art, music and story. It is beautiful, funny, bitter-sweet, interesting. It will leave you with the best feelings. The first time I saw it was when I rented it and I watched it three times in a row. I loved it so much, I wanted to own it. Nina Paley is a miracle worker; a lovely story teller; an intelligent, artful giver of her soul. Thank you, Nina Paley, for sharing this terrific effort with the rest of us.
