‘Memoir Of A Snail’ & ‘Conclave’ Debut; A Soft-Side-Of-Donald-Trump Doc Takes On ‘The Apprentice’ – Specialty Preview


'Memoir Of A Snail', 'Conclave', 'Dahomy' and more join Donald Trump documentary 'The Man You Don't Know' as this weekend's indie film openings.

The stellar ensemble Australian cast including Succession ’s Sarah Snook, Eric Bana, Jacki Weaver and Kodi Smit-McPhee spins the tale of Grace Pudel, a book-loving, snail-collecting misfit, who sinks into a series of misfortunes after being separated from her twin brother Gilbert. Unfolding like a thriller and combining secret investigative recordings, vérité shooting and emotional first-person video, Ito’s quest becomes a landmark case in Japan, exposing the country’s desperately outdated judicial and societal systems. The Herricanes, part of the first women’s full tackle football league in the 1970s, get the big screen treatment in this doc from Blue Harbor Entertainment opening in Houston, the team’s home town, in the documenary by Olivia Kuan.
