Sita Sings the Blues
Yay indie films available online for a while.
This is a really neat revisit of the Ramayana, with a real variety of classic 1920's blues, amazingly interesting illustration, etc. I think it's online for about 7 days. If I were still teaching Humanities through the Arts or Rel Studies courses, I'd probably make students watch it... it's an interesting take on the Rama/Sita thing from a surprisingly calm western feminist.
