Unfortunately I can't say I would recommend Cabinet of Curiosities, as a whole, but the final episode is directed by Jennifer Kent (who also wrote and directed The Babadook) and stars Essie Davis and Andrew Lincoln. They make an incredible team. It's a gorgeous short film in itself, with all the depth you'd expect from a Kent story.
