Memoir of a Snail
Memoir of a Snail
Charming and cheeky, this stop-motion animated film is about unlikely friendships and finding silver linings in the clutter of everyday life.
Telluride at DartmouthGrace Pudel (Sarah Snook) is a lonely misfit with an affinity for collecting ornamental snails and an intense love for books. At a young age, when Grace is separated from her twin brother Gilbert, she falls into a spiral of anxiety and angst. But inspiration and hope emerge when she strikes up an enduring friendship with a cigar-smoking lady adventurer named Pinky (Jacki Weaver), who is full of grit and lust for life.
Is it possible to endure an existence of deprivation and loss and yet still love your life? Australian Oscar-winning writer-director Adam Elliot (Max and Mary) answers this complicated question with charm, graceful wisdom and a flamboyant display of innovative, charming stop-motion animation. Ingeniously blending Dickensian melodrama with bawdy comedy, the heartfelt and hilarious Memoir shows how an outsider finds her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.
