The Nomi Song
He came from outer space to save the human race. Man or Martian? New wave or opera?
Directed by Andrew Horn
A documentary portrait of Klaus Nomi's extraordinary life and artistry, blending affection for a singular talent with the melancholy of fame, betrayal, and early death.
Looks like an alien, sings like a diva - Klaus Nomi was one of the 1980s' most profoundly bizarre characters to emerge through rock music: a counter tenor who sang pop music like opera and brought opera to club audiences and made them like it. The Nomi Song is a film about fame, death, friendship, betrayal, opera, and the greatest New Wave rock star that never was!
