Movie : Sita Sings the Blues
This is a really cool indi film done by Nina Paley, an American cartoon animator. That's some of her artwork in the picture with this post.

Essentially, here's the gist: An American artist/cartoon animator is married and living in the US. Her husband gets transferred to India for work. She eventually joins him in India but is surprised to find out he now wants a divorce. Now she is heartbroken -- and far from home. The result of this pain, is that she interweaves the story of her own heartbreak with the story of the Hindu Goddess Sita, (who also had a rocky love life) and being a cartoon artist, she journals the whole thing into an animated film. Her choice of using American Blues for the soundtrack is brilliant.

The beauty of this film is not just the fine artwork, but the cleverness of how the artist intertwined the same story in two cultures, not just visually and emotionally, but also aurally -- ancient and modern, Hindu and Western -- she shows how the fraility of the heart is the same for all -- even if you are a beautiful Goddess.
