A single-shot wonder that serves as an impressive debut from Thomas Hardiman, Medusa Deluxe is a bold, invigorating whodunnit. annarosemary's review:
’s nightmarish, hazy final moments that any of the characters discuss what drew them to this hairstyling competition in the first place, unwittingly locking them in such a cursed space and subjecting them to unrestrained violence.
While the camera rotates–suspending watchers above the room as the scattered bottles of gel and cans of spray blur into meaningless patterns–the whole film is gently reframed. Suddenly it becomes clear that the death plaguing these characters isn’t antithetical to this setting, but born from the kind of competition which siphons off body parts to be judged independently, cruelly.
’s continuity serving as proof that a director can succeed without relying on obvious editing to carve out something undeniable. But the absence of clear cuts doesn’t necessarily mean a film will amass into something cohesive in and of itself. In, this technique balances on the border between distracting and meaningful, ultimately tipping into the latter with the film’s whirlwind ending.
