Memoir of a Snail

Friday 21 March 2025 - Friday 28 March 2025

Cinema

Grace Pudel is a lonely misfit with an affinity for collecting ornamental snails and an intense love for books in Memoir of a Snail.

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.

From Academy Award® winning animation writer and director Adam Elliot, Memoir of a Snail is a poignant, heartfelt and hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.

 

‘what makes this a distinctively Elliot film is not the relentless misfortune but the flashes of mordant humour to be found alongside Grace’s hoarded knick-knacks’ The Guardian ★★★★☆
