Synopsis
"The Doll Factory" (2023) — watch online on iFILM — is a six-part British psychological drama adapted from Elizabeth Macneal's 2019 debut novel. London, 1850s: Iris (Esmé Creed-Miles) paints dolls for a shop and wants badly to be taken seriously as an artist. Pre-Raphaelite painter Louis (Freddie Carter) spots her and offers her a way in — he needs a model, and she needs a canvas of her own. Directed by Sacha Polak and Katy Brady.
The arrangement gives Iris access to a world of artists and bohemians she has always watched from the outside. What she doesn't know is that Silas (Éanna Hardwicke), a soft-spoken taxidermist who collects beautiful and broken things, has started following her. His attention is quiet. That's the part that's wrong.
Dutch director Sacha Polak brings a European precision to the material: the period detail is gorgeous, and the threat underneath it builds slowly, with no easy release. Tagline: "Desire can be deadly." Stream The Doll Factory online on iFILM.
