English, no subtitles Winner - Berlin International Film FESTIVAL
Nominated - Independent Spirit Awards Sita is an Indian goddess
separated from her beloved husband Rama. Nina is an animator whose
real-life husband moved to India and then divorced her by e-mail.
Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both the ancient tragedy and
Nina's modern conundrum in this beautifully animated interpretation of
the Indian epic "Ramayana". Both Roger Ebert and A.O. Scott gave the
film 100% critical rating. Ebert called it "astonishingly original"
and Scott claimed it "dazzling . . . affecting, surprising and a lot
of fun." See trailer here:
