Story of German New Wave rock star Klaus Nomi, one of the most profoundly bizarre characters to rise to fame in the 80s. In his short but eventful life, fame, friendship, betrayal, opera, performance and, tragically, death converge.
The Nomi Song is pieced together from photos, performance footage, and talking-head interviews, but director Andew Horn has taken great care to fashion a strong story arc.
Andrew Horn's film charts Nomi's remarkable rise, his brief cult fame and his untimely flameout in 1983 as one of the arts community's earliest AIDS fatalities.
I saw his performance on Urrg! A Music War back in the mid-80s and thought "whos IS this guy?" After two and a half decades I finally watched this and found out. This is a very well done documentary about an original and pioneering talent. His voice was unique, his artisitc vision was bold.
