Kate Berlant: Cinnamon in the Wind

About This Movie

So, Kate Berlant's 'Cinnamon in the Wind' is this fascinating dive into absurdist comedy, shot back in 2019. The whole vibe feels really intimate; you almost get the sense that you're just eavesdropping on her thoughts. It's not your typical standup—Berlant plays with expectations and takes a surreal approach. She talks to the audience and herself, almost like there's a conversation happening with the mirror. The pacing is a bit erratic, which adds to the charm. It's a weird blend of humor and introspection, and you can't help but feel there's something deeper regarding her clairvoyant connection woven into the set. In short, it’s quirky, and oddly engaging in a way that sticks with you.
