Synopsis
The Miniaturist (2017) is a BBC One historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Guillem Morales adapted Jessie Burton's bestselling novel: young Nella Oortman (Anya Taylor-Joy) arrives as the new wife of a wealthy Amsterdam merchant and steps into a household full of people who don't want her to understand it.
Her husband Johannes Brandt (Alex Hassell) gives her a dollhouse — an exact replica of their home. Nella commissions a miniaturist to furnish it. The figures that arrive are precise. They are also somehow ahead of events that haven't happened yet. Romola Garai plays Johannes's cold, calculating sister Marin; Hayley Squires is the loyal maid Cornelia; Paapa Essiedu is the servant Otto.
Set in Dutch Golden Age Amsterdam, The Miniaturist is quieter and more unsettling than most period drama — the dread here is domestic, not Gothic. Stream The Miniaturist (2017) online on iFILM.
