Udo Kier: Beautiful, Strange, Unforgettable

Series Site

With a career spanning over five decades, Udo Kier carved out a singular place in cinema as one of its most fearless and unforgettable performers. From cult provocations like Flesh for Frankenstein (1973) and Blood for Dracula (1974) to modern classics such as Melancholia (2011) and Bacurau (2019), Kier brought wit, menace, vulnerability, and magnetism to every role he inhabited. This special retrospective celebrates the remarkable range of an actor who moved effortlessly between art-house, genre cinema, and international filmmaking, culminating in the opening of My Neighbor Adolf, one of Kier’s final and most unexpectedly tender leading performances.
