Medusa Deluxe
Exuberant black-comic murder mystery set during an extravagant hairdressing competition. The murder of one of the contestants sows seeds of division in the community of models and hairdressers.
Scandal is afoot at a hairdressing competition: one of the competitors has been found scalped. The event is shut down and the venue locked down, leaving rival stylists and models trapped together, to dramatically speculate and squabble on who is guilty, why they did it and which one of them might be the next victim. This stylish feature debut from writer-director Thomas Hardiman sweeps us along the backstage drama and chaos in an action-packed single-take. Fabulous costumes and spectacular hair create a visual feast, while the hilarious and dedicated ensemble cast don’t miss a snip. (source: British Film Institute)
