A new trailer has dropped for the animated feature Memoir of a Snail which will release in UK cinemas very soon.
Memoir of a Snail opens at UK and Irish cinemas on 14 February 2025, while there are also five advance preview screenings including a Q&A with writer/director Adam Elliot.
Winner of the Best Film ‘Cristal’ Award at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and the Best Film Prize at this year’s BFI London Film Festival (the first time an animated feature has ever taken the top prize), nominated for a Golden Globe, short-listed for Animated Feature of The Year at the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards and long-listed for the 2025 BAFTA Film Awards, Memoir of a Snail is the bittersweet tale of a lonely woman, Grace Pudel, who retells her life story to a humble garden snail called Sylvia.
Featuring the voice talents of Sarah Snook (Succession) as Grace with Kodi Smit-McPhee as her estranged twin brother Gilbert, this is another incredibly rich and moving feature-length “clayography” from one of the world’s most admired animation auteurs – part seven of Elliot’s Trilogy of Trilogies (three short shorts, three long shorts, three features).
Grace Pudel 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 fire-breathing twin brother Gilbert, she falls into a spiral of anxiety and angst. Despite a continued series of hardships, inspiration and hope emerge when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman named Pinky, who is full of grit and lust for life.
The voice cast also includes Eric Bana, Nick Cave, Dominique Pinon and Jacki Weaver.
