Modern Films has released the UK trailer and artwork for the award-winning stop-motion animated feature ‘Memoir of A Snail.’
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 emerges when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman named Pinky, who is full of grit and lust for life.
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). The voice cast also includes Eric Bana, Nick Cave, Dominique Pinon and Jacki Weaver and 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.
Also in trailers – “What if we are not in control?” Trailer drops for Apple TV+ series ‘Prime Target’
The feature hits UK and Irih cinemas on February 14th.
