neutral · AI labelView post →FRANK'S FILM REVIEW: SWAN SONG ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Swan Song is a must-see if you enjoy heartfelt, character-driven stories with a mix of humor and emotional depth. It reminds us never to give up on reconnecting with the world, even when life has passed on. franksfilmreview.com/2025/03/23/s...
positive · AI labelView post →Udo Kier was a legend who always gave nothing less than a memorable performance in whatever film he was in. One of my favorites of his is SWAN SONG where he delivers all the emotional notes with vibrancy & vulnerability. He’s also terrific as a bitchy wedding planner in MELANCHOLIA. #RIPUdoKier

neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Udo Kier, stalwart of outlier international cinema. Thanks for, among many others, Mark of the Devil, Flesh for Frankenstein, Blood for Dracula, Suspiria, My Own Private Idaho, Shadow of the Vampire, Dancer in the Dark and The Kingdom. And Swan Song, such a deliciously camp and moving late film.

neutral · AI labelView post →We watched Lake Placid and then Swan Song (poignant and bittersweet movie about a late in life elder queer doing ONE LAST JOB as a hairstylist, Udo Kier is amazing in it) and that choice may have been a BIT MUCH for my mom who is feeling a lot of things after a major surgery :(
positive · AI labelView post →My Gay /queer movie recommendation is the 2021 movie "Swan Song " beautifully made film , very funny and very moving

positive · AI labelView post →Attempted to watch Todd Stephens’s Swan Song (2021) last night, but didn’t finish it. Gasp, I know! I rarely abandon films. Just wasn’t in the right headspace, though. Jumped ship to watch Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) instead. What a charming, winsome film! #films #FilmSky 🎥🎬

neutral · AI labelView post →We are so incredibly sad to learn about the passing of the amazing Udo Kier. He starred in Swan Song, an instant Ohio LGBTQ+ classic film that we discussed a few years back with Ohio LGBTQ+ filmmaker Todd Stephens. thebuckeyeflame.com/2021/04/15/t...
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Udo Kier (Suspiria, Swan Song, Blade, Iron Sky, and so much more). A friend of mine got talking to him at one London Film and Comic Con, and apparently, as he had zero idea what the Imperial Stormtrooper cosplayers were meant to be, he was the last person on Earth to hear about Star Wars.
neutral · AI labelView post →Share a great movie or TV cameo 📺 📽️ Linda Evans in Swan Song, and theres a a huge LOL moment when you see the Dynasty easter egg if youre gay you have to see this movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →P.s. the movie was Swan Song and it's real fuckin good
positive · AI labelView post →Swan Song (2021), streaming on Hulu: A week after I watched it, this story of a queer elder who refuses to fade away quietly is still rattling around in my head. Udo Kier is a marvel here, making the most of the kind of role Bette Davis used to play. Bittersweet yet triumphant. Highly recommended.
positive · AI labelView post →Gay movies thread. My recommendation: Swan Song, brilliant movie with a fantastic performance by Udo Kier being flawless being a witty hairdresser and a heartbroken man
positive · AI labelView post →🎬 Swan Song (2021) 🇺🇸 #Movie This was the last of his works I saw in the cinema. He looked splendid in that peppermint-green suit; it suited him beautifully. RIP 🕊️🌈❤️ youtu.be/heN0JtJu4pE?...
positive · AI labelView post →Sad about Udo Kier. I just watched Swan Song, a film entirely buoyed by his performance, at once cattily fabulous and openly broken-hearted. RIP.
positive · AI labelView post →In the book Swan Song, the Devil strolls into a movie theater chuckling to himself while WWIII is bringing a rapid end to human civilization. He's laughing because he didn't have to do anything. The humans are blowing themselves up. I think about that a lot.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just remembered a lgbtq+ movie I meant to recommend ages ago, Swan Song. A retired gay hairdresser breaks out of his care home and goes on a pilgrimage to style the hair of a lady who has died who was both client & friend. Everyone he encounters meets him with love & kindness. Fabulous! 👏🏻💚🩷💜
positive · AI labelView post →Swan Song 🌟🌟🌟🌟 4/5 Rating Interesting film with an interesting narrative. Strong performance by Mahershala Ali. Film is thought provoking especially in this evolving tech space. Generally, a good film. MUST WATCH. #filmsky for #blacksky
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight we watched the movie Swan Song (2021), based upon the life of flamboyant hairdresser Pat Pitsenbarger. What a lovely, funny and touching story. I cried my eyes out at the end, but I really loved it, an absolute gay classic.
positive · AI labelView post →What's one move that every gay man should see? I'll start, with this one, "Swan Song". Udo Kier should have been nominated for an Oscar. And Linda Evans does the most hilarious guest spot of her career. Reskeet with your choice of movie that you think every gay man should see.

positive · AI labelView post →Swan Song! So good. I always thought it would make a fantastic movie, or limited series (once those became a thing).

positive · AI labelView post →He made a very fitting movie called Swan Song a few years ago and it's currently available on Amazon Prime, Hoopla, and Kanopy.
neutral · AI labelView post →I am Gen X to my bones. My favorite book as a teenager was McCammon"s "Swan Song." I have a high tolerance for armageddon-esque movies and am currently pacing my living room while watching "House of Dynamite." (It's less the movie and more this movie during the current presidency.)

positive · AI labelView post →While you’re all watching One Piece, I’m still on #Columbo: in E3S7 #SwanSong, #JohnnyCash plays the antagonist. It’s a wonderful episode that shows a lot of Columbo’s investigative work. And the scene with the Undertaker - I don’t know if it’s scripted or improvised - it seems like the latter - is world class! — #CineMastodon #Columbodon

neutral · AI labelView post →Stumbled on the movie Swan Song (2021) today! A wild ride through aging, loneliness, raw humanity, the will to live & deep self-reflection. Sounds boring? Trust me, it’s anything but!
positive · AI labelView post →This evening I'm watching a film called Swan Song (2021) with Mahershala Ali
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe the coolest thing was a bootleg restoration that replaced the Swan Song logos in the film because saying "fuck you" to a record label throwing their weight around legally was such a perfect metaphor for the movie. But after that I just lock in on Beef for the rest of the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →My sense of it was that this was going back to the original film itself, so, even better! But again, as I've mentioned, Led Zeppelin had the original Swan Song injunction going way back when and they continue to specifically enforce it, it turns out.
neutral · AI labelView post →If only that movie had been his swan song. But that was his other movie, Swan Song!
neutral · AI labelView post →You want an American film from the last decade that belongs right alongside “Priscilla” you should watch “Swan Song”

negative · AI labelView post →I'll post this illustration as the first post I like it, it has its own atmosphere. I drew it about two years ago based on the movie Swan Song, very interesting movie Do you have an illustration that you were inspired to draw from a movie/series/animation and that stuck with you emotionally?
positive · AI labelView post →Excellent choices.Loved SWAN SONG!Would be A great movie!
positive · AI labelView post →The book is solid though I always preferred MCCammon's Swan Song for Post Apocalyptic Americana. But the actors really did a good job. I felt like this was the best adaptation of any of King's books, though movie Pet Semetery was also good.
neutral · AI labelView post →Obscure queer movie #4 - Swan Song stars Udo Kier as an old, gay, former hairdresser to the stars. When he’s asked to do the hair for an old clients funeral he escapes his care home and goes on a personal odyssey. It’s a beautifully strange and gentle film with an extraordinary performance by Kier
