NOMI SONG (2003)
Andrew Horn's 'Nomi Song' is not a 'film' as such, but rather an extended television documentary shot on videotape. The archive footage is a treat and includes unseen home video, rare performance footage and obscure TV appearances. It's fascinating to see videotape as the primary archive source in a documentary of this kind - so crude, so unstable, so immediate. The sourcing of this material is Andrew Horn's principle achievement. But 'Nomi Song' is crude in other less interesting ways - as though a few more days in the edit might have helped. The interviews are unimaginatively staged and shot and some of the junctions between scenes jar. The first hand accounts are illuminating, but sometimes petty and it would have been useful to hear some contemporary artists and more objective commentators weigh Nomi's achievement and influence to provide some perspective. That said, this the only Nomi documentary available and we should be grateful for it. If you're curious to know more about this wonderful artist, this is a good place to start...

A great testament to a great star
Klaus Nomi was a freak-superstar of the late 70s/early 80s NYC underground scene, a heavily-made-up German glam punk who sang operatic arias and pop in an unearthly falsetto. Andrew Horn's doc, a real labour of love, pieces together what's left of a short, blazing career and turns it into a work of art in its own right. Each scrap of footage is lovingly contextualised, and the whole thing testifies to Nomi's strange, out-of-nowhere talent, and the greater tragedy of the Aids epidemic, which claimed Klaus's life, and of so many of that generation. A treasure for the fans, and a revelation for the uninitiated.
