Medusa Deluxe15

Directed by Thomas Hardiman | UK | 2022 | 1h 41m | Starring Clare Perkins, Kayla Meikle, Lilit Lesser, Debris Stevenson, Anita-Joy Uwajeh

A high-stakes hairdressing competition descends into paranoia and chaos after a participant is found brutally murdered. Mistrust builds among the remaining contestants as they try to uncover the identity of the killer. A flamboyant and absurdly comic whodunnit brilliantly shot by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Robbie Ryan (The Favourite) and featuring extravagant hair designs by renowned stylist Eugene Souleiman.

Reviews

‘The film luxuriates in gossip and back-stabbery, the complex character dynamics playing out like a heightened, glamorous, deadly soap opera.’
★★★★
John Nugent, Empire Magazine

‘A directorial debut that successfully injects a fresh, vibrant perspective into the murder mystery genre’
Cheyenne Bunsie, Little White Lies

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
