-
Sun 21 December 2008 // 14:00
(Sun 21st / 2pm / £2)
(Nina Paley / 2008 / USA / 82 minutes / suitable for age 5+)
Sita is a Hindu goddess, the leading lady of India’s epic the Ramayana and a dutiful wife who follows her husband Rama on a 14 year exile to a forest, only to be kidnapped by an evil king from Sri Lanka. Despite remaining faithful to her husband, Sita is put through many tests. Nina (the filmmaker Nina Paley herself)
is an artist who finds parallels in Sita’s life. Three hilarious Indonesian shadow puppets narrate both the ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the epic.
Sita Sings The Blues won best feature film at Annecy Film Festival this year. A December treat for the whole family from Nanoplex.
