In 1966, a pouty-mouthed Udo Kier made his movie debut in a zippy short called “Road to Saint Tropez,” playing a gigolo who has a fling with an older woman.
Their day at Baie des Anges is a romp, but by the time they get to the film’s title beach town, he breaks her heart. This summer, Kier is again in a movie that was shot by the water.
But it’s nowhere near the French Riviera, and he’s no lady killer. In “Swan Song,” a new movie from the writer-director Todd Stephens, Kier plays Mr.
Pat, a flamboyant former hairdresser languishing in a grim nursing home outside Sandusky, Ohio, a working-class city on the Lake Erie shore.
