A black woman does the hair for an Asian person with rainbow-streaked hair and a white face
Medusa Deluxe, dir. Thomas Hardiman, UK 2022, 101 min., English, 15

After a stylist is found dead at a hairdressing competition, the remaining competitors try to uncover the killer over the course of an evening. Rivalry and mistrust build as the contestants suspect that someone may be trying to rig the competition by gruesomely picking off its entrants.

Writer-director Thomas Hardiman’s debut feature, which received its world premiere at the 2022 Locarno Film Festival, is a darkly comic and formally playful murder mystery.
