Sita Sings the Blues (2008)

This is no April Fool's joke--I loved this movie.  It is not, however, an animated movie aimed primarily at children.  It is a retelling of of the classic Indian story of Sita, and it is interwoven with the telling of the break up of the film maker's marriage (note to self--do not get involved with anyone who does writing or acting for a living.  Your life might be on public display).  I loved the various ways the author told each part of the story, and it is juxtaposed with blues songs from the 1920's as performed by Annette Henshaw.  Really wonderful pairings of story with the song, and while it is quirky in the telling of the story, it is also entirely enjoyable and fairly unique.  Highly recommend this for older children and adults alike.
