Andrew Horn's biopic
The Nomi Song about the lendendary New Wave performer
Klaus Nomi finally opened in New York and Los Angeles this past weekend via
Palm Pictures.
As J. Hoberman writes in
The Village Voice: "Nomi's particular retro-futurist post-punk synthesis, cartoonish cabaret persona, homemade special effects, high-pop aspirations, and tantalizing near success made him a legendary figure -- if not an icon -- of downtown bohemia. He has a corner spot in the performance component of the New Museum's current
'East Village USA' show, but that scarcely does him justice. Made with considerable wit and style, Horn's thoughtful celebration of the era and its most uncanny diva could function as the show's supplement."
