What happens in the Memoir of a Snail trailer?
The Memoir of a Snail trailer, which was first revealed by Variety, introduces audiences to Grace and Gilbert, a pair of twins who are very close to one another. Grace and Gilbert are separated, however, and then have to find their way back to one another.
“Grace Pudel is a book-loving, snail-collecting misfit that falls into a series of misfortunes after being separated from her twin brother Gilbert. Despite her hardships, inspiration and hope arise when Grace begins a friendship with an eccentric elderly woman named Pinky,” the synopsis for the movie reads. “From Academy Award-winning writer and director Adam Elliot, Memoirs of a Snail is a heartfelt and hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.”
Elliot previously made the 2009 stop-motion movie Mary and Max. He’s also made a number of shorts, including 1996’s Uncle, 1999’s Cousin, 2000’s Brother, 2003’s Harvie Krumpet, and 2015’s Ernie Biscuit.
Along with Snook and Smit-McPhee, the voice cast includes Eric Bana, Tony Armstrong, Jacki Weaver, Paul Capsis, and more.
The film had its world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June 2024, where it was met with positive reviews and won the Cristal Award for a Feature Film.
Memoir of a Snail will be released in select United States theaters on October 25, 2024, from IFC Films. A wider release will then follow in November.
