Medusa Deluxe
Murder. Obsession. Hairdressing.
Directed by Thomas Hardiman
Produced by EMU Films, BBC Film
A stylish, darkly comedic whodunit set in a competitive hairdressing world, where murder and mystery unfold amid neon aesthetics and simmering interpersonal tensions.
Talented and cutthroat hairstylists at a competition find one of their own murdered before judging can begin. Winding through neon-lit halls, competitors unspool long-simmering resentments and lies as they search for the killer among them.
