Comments from Eugene Suleiman, who was involved in the film “Medusa Deluxe,” which will be released on October 14 (Sat) at Theater Image Forum and other theaters nationwide, have been released.
The film is a British film that attracted attention when A24, a production/distribution company that produced “Hereditary” and “Midsummer,” acquired the North American distribution rights. The film is a one-shot mystery surrounding the murder of a charismatic hairdresser that took place just before a hair contest. The film is directed and written by Thomas Hardiman, whose parents are hairdressers, and Eugene Suleiman is in charge of the hair styling for the contest created by the four hairdressers.
Eugene Suleiman, “the legendary hairstylist,” has styled Lady Gaga’s ” Alejandro ” trim bob and runway hair for Dolce & Gabbana, Dries Van Noten, Celine, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton, among others. She has also worked on runway hair for Dolce & Gabbana, Dries Van Noten, Celine, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and others. This job was realized when Thomas Hardiman, who had been watching Eugene Suleiman since he was a boy, asked him to do his hair at a time when collections and other events were being canceled one after another due to the Corona disaster. This is the first time that Eugene Suleiman has done hair styling for a film.
I want to tell people that you can take it very lightly and just enjoy it.
Whether you are a hairdresser or not, always enjoy life and experiment,
Don’t take it too seriously, but have fun. That’s all I can say.
Hair is life for me.
For all of you, it’s about taking your own life journey, having fun, experimenting,
I want you to remember to be playful.
Eugene Suleiman
