THE MAGIC TOYSHOP (Church of Film)

When her parents are killed in a plane crash, Melanie and her siblings are sent to live with her tyrannical Uncle Philip and his strange family in an unsettling toyshop. There she comes to womanhood, the toys come alive, and a rebellion against the family’s grim patriarch foments.

THE MAGIC TOYSHOP is a wondrous and strange prestige-television adaptation of Angela Carter’s beloved first Magic Realist novel, with a screenplay she provided herself.
