“A riveting mix of taking-head interviews, archival footage, and musical performance pieces.” – Ed Gonzales, Slant Magazine
FACETS Film Trivia is back with our classic brand of infotainment quiz show fun, followed up by an after-trivia screening of the 2004 documentary, The Nomi Song.
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!
Screening in English and German with English subtitles.
Andrew Horn, Germany, 2004, 98 minutes
