The Nomi Song: Eighties' New Wave as Art and Art as Documentary
There’s nothing remarkably unique about the structure or content of Andrew Horn’s The Nomi Song, which focuses on Klaus Nomi’s brief ascent to stardom – even if it was only in Europe.
The standard, who was where at what time and what they saw is all still there. Of course, the fact that Nomi never became a huge star in the states, even if he briefly flirted with David Bowie’s cohort, really relegates most of the interviews to second tier status. It’s not that the folks seated for interviews weren’t interesting, it’s just that no one’s engaging in the way reminiscing stars are.
