The Nomi Song
★ 6.4/10•2004•1h 38m•Documentary•Music

He came from outer space to save the human race. Man or Martian? New wave or opera?

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!
