Preview: MEDUSA DELUXE d. Thomas Hardiman, 2022 + Q&A with the director & cast members Darrell D’Silva, Debris Stevenson, Anita-Joy Uwajeh, Luke Pasqualino & Nick Karimi at BFI Southbank (05 JUN 20:40).

“Perfectly coiffured, this murder mystery, set in the world of competitive hairdressing is a smart and scintillating single-shot delight. 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. It’s fantastically fun and stylish feature debut from writer-director Thomas Hardiman, who with cinematographer Robbie Ryan sweeps us along the all the backstage drama and chaos in an action-packed single-take and in a charged 4:3 aspect ratio. Fabulous costumes and spectacular hair create a visual feast, while the hilarious and dedicated ensemble cast don’t miss a snip.” (BFI)
