Little Veins On My Chest

Sita Sings The Blues Me And Orson Welles


Sita Sings The Blues is a small gem animation directed by Nina Paley that bounces between the legends of India and the States in the name of a contemporary "feminism" home-made, vintage pop music and a certain amount of pop cialtroneria which is good.

The story of the film is divided in four levels, namely an Indiana legend, a dimension in which three of the (?) Comment on the incident, a modern history roughly parallel to that mythical, a lot of weight and also of the musical interludes, each of these sides of the film is shown with a different graphic style, always very stylized but brimming fantastic colors and effects, which themselves have kept busy for my eyes not altogether remarkable life.

Freed from a market logic that has strangled the creativity for decades, a lot of contemporary animation has left unbridled imagination of filmmakers in the last period, and the results were not slow in coming, as in this is just fantastic kaleidoscope of 'in styles his strength, both from a graphical point of view from that of narrative, with curious characters between entr'actes committed to dissect the facts of history that alone are worth the price of the ticket and they might have a weight, even more, perhaps sacrificing some of the music that share a frequency, again, even excessive. SSTB is intelligent, fun, colorful and even vaguely in focus from an emotional point of view, there really is no reason why it does not need to find.
