I ended up going to see it last night in Santa Monica (it's only showing for one week at art house theaters, so if you want to see it, go soon.) Aside from the subject matter, it was also a pretty well made documentary. Truly a fascinating portrait of that particular musical/cultural era in NYC. It's a shame that most of the theatrical concept of the original Nomi show was lost when the record label threw out his original band and replaced them with generic musicians. They had some great footage of the early shows. So unless you got to see him live in NYC, you probably didn't get the full effect of what they were trying to do. The record label totally watered him down once they signed him.
