Sita Sings the Blues
The short version: It's an animated film, a pseudo-comedic version of the Ramayana, told partly as a conversation between a bunch of guys with a kind of shaky understanding of the story and partly as a musical using old Blues songs, threaded together with a pseudo-autobiographical modern partial parallel to the story. It's also free, shared under a Creative Commons liscense and watchable in its entirety on youtube through the link above.
Very interesting, definitely worth the 80 minutes to watch it.
