gotta say, pretty fucking cool that these are the credits they use for Kier, genuinely appropriate

UDO KIER: giant of queer cinema and arguably (barely) the greatest character actor in the history of film. Warhol, Von Trier, Argento, Jancsó, Fassbinder, Van Sant, Sonnenfeld, Wenders, Tarantino, Lynch, Herzog, Maddin, Zahler, Alverson, Filho, Kosinski. 275 credits. Legend. RIP.

RIP Udo Kier. Had an incredible evening circa 2009 seeing him interviewed by Bruce LaBruce onstage in Toronto. “So you were roommates with Fassbinder?” asked LaBruce. “AH YES!” replied Udo. “Vee vere… ‘room mates’!”

Goodnight sweet prince.

Incredible sneak on here

RIP to a legend. was lucky to randomly meet Udo Kier this past spring in Santa Fe where we both were staying at the same hotel. we invited him out to dinner after we kept bumping into him in the lobby. he regaled us with stories from his career, made for an unforgettable night.

Udo Kier worked with Paul Morrissey, Just Jaeckin, Walerin Borowczyk, Fassbinder, Lars Von Trier, Gus Van Sant, Wim Wenders, Claude Chabrol, John Carpenter, Rob Zombie, Werner Herzog, Guy Maddin, S Craig Zahler, Kleber Mendonca Filho, and was in Ace Ventura. RIP.

Every Gen X cinema hipster worth their salt in the '90s loved Udo Kier, RIP to a legend

Udo Kier was great all the way to the end. He has a scene in The Secret Agent this year that’s one of the most unnerving and visceral depictions of assimilating for hateful monsters I’ve ever seen and the way he plays it is so devastating and angry. A giant. RIP

Udo Kier's only tweet.

The great Udo Kier, whom I once interviewed on stage in Toronto, both getting drunk on Chardonnay & Jagermeister, as he mercilessly teased me, has died at 81. Udo, one of the hardest working men in show biz, worked w/ everyone from Paul Morrissey to Fassbinder to Lars Von Trier

if ur gonna only ever say one thing on here before never posting again, make it this. RIP Udo Kier. Everybody go watch Bacurau right now and thank me later

I’m at a loss for words. It all happened far too suddenly. Because of the strike, we weren’t able to shoot “OD” for a long time, and we were forced to reschedule to next year. Even during that time, Udo and I exchanged emails frequently. We stayed in close contact. When we met in

r.i.p. king

Ah yes, all these “terrible” movies.

It had, honestly, never once occurred to me that Udo Kier could possibly die. Still not wholly convinced it could be so. A wonderful, droll, carnivorous, epicurean screen presence. I don't think he's dead. I'm pretty sure he's not dead.

Rolled out for an invitation only screening of Annemarie Jacir’s new film Palestine 36

It’s a Western (laudatory, of course).
