Synopsis
The documentary of Andrew Horn is a self-portrait of a German artist, ‘Clause Nomi', which was painted in oil. He was born in Germany and trained as a tenor of classic opera. He played new wave music in black-and-white clothes and Kabuki make-up. It does not explain all of him. His voice is a sound from the heavens. He used to sing in a small club. Even though the stage was small, he had many high-class fans. He was discovered by David Bowie, and he sang commercial songs before the main show and as a back-up vocal. As he was achieving fame, he fell into an exhausted condition. He died of AIDS, also called gay cancer. He survives in this film. He survives successfully through the interviews of Page Wood, Ann Magnuson and Anthony Scibelli and the library shot. How do you feel watching the life of a genius artist who is buried behind a stage? In my case, the beginning was calm but the last scene shook my mind. It is my favorite film. As an interviewee said, "His song was different, it was a miracle that changed my life." I'm so sorry that I just watched the gem found by the director. The film won the Teddy Award at the 2004 Berlin film festival.
