I never met him, sadly, but I treasure this photo of him holding the Blu-ray of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Miss Osbourne that Daniel Bird and I co-produced for Arrow back in 2015: a total labour of love that still ranks high among my proudest career achievements.

RIP Udo Kier. In late 1983 and early 1984 I saw his Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dr Jekyll on assorted big screens, in all cases absurdly too young, in films that had a worryingly disproportionate impact on my entire cultural worldview. He truly fucked life in the gall bladder and no mistake. RIP.

Saturday evening viewing is alway's my partner's choice, and tonight we have the superb 1977 BBC production of COUNT DRACULA, and, as a tribute to actor Nakadai Tatsuya, who died last week, Kurosawa's magnificent KAGEMUSHA, in which he stars and shines. Can't fault her on either.
