A murder mystery set in a competitive hairdressing competition. Models, hairdressers, jury members: they all circle one another during a regional competition, outdoing each other in low blows, blind ambition and envy. The hairstylists, liberated from the need to cut everyday hair in everyday styles, really go to town with the most extravagant hairstyles imaginable, making the term “hair art” an understatement. Extravagance and excess collide, as the death of one of their own sows seeds of division in a community whose passion for hair verges on obsession.

The feature debut by THOMAS HARDIMAN is a hilarious satire both on the world of fashion and the murder mystery. Medusa Deluxe premiered at Locarno and was screened at the BFI London Film Festival, Rotterdam and many other festivals
