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!

VIBE

A haunting, dreamlike journey into the life of a singular New Wave icon. It's a poignant, visually striking tribute that captures both the dazzling highs of artistic ambition and the devastating lows of a life cut short.
