‘Memoir of a Snail’ review: Australian Claymation master Adam Elliot reflects on love, grief and human weakness – Annecy

Title: Memoir of a Snail Festival: Annecy (Competition) Director/screenwriter: Adam Elliot Voice cast: Sarah Snook, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Eric Bana, Dominique Pinon, Tony Armstrong, Jacki Weaver Sales agent: Goodfellas Running time: 1 hr 35 min
