Swan Song
After learning of his former client's dying wish for him to style her final hairdo, retired hairdresser Pat embarks on an odyssey to confront the ghosts of his past.
‘Swan Song’ is appointment viewing for fans of Udo Kier, who gives a career-best turn as a retired hairdresser making peace with the past.
He’s Pat Pitsenbarger, a long-ago retired beautician now housed in a sad, green-walled nursing home in Ohio, withering away his days sneaking cigarettes when the nurses aren’t looking, and ruminating over his past life. The journey into his past presents Pat with former friends and places from his life that are in turns funny poignant and camp.
Kier gets the role of his lifetime as a fabulously snarky, acerbic, long-retired hairdresser.
