"⭐⭐⭐⭐ Charming and poignant." - Guardian
Memoir Of A Snail is Academy Award-winning animation auteur Adam Elliot's second feature length clayography film, and part seven of his Trilogy of Trilogies, (three short shorts, three long shorts, three features).
Produced by Liz Kearney, this new adult animated stopmotion feature is the bittersweet remembrance of a lonely woman, Grace Pudel, who retells her life story to a humble garden snail called Sylvia.
Like Adam's previous adult works, the film is based on his family and friends and explores challenging subject matter that is often dark but tempered with moments of hilarity and warmth. Another rich story from one of the world's most admired animation auteurs, his highly anticipated follow-up to the acclaimed Mary and Max (voiced by Phillip Seymour Hoffman) is again voiced by some of the world's leading actors, including Sarah Snook, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Eric Bana, Dominique Pinon, Jacki Weaver and Nick Cave.
