Annecy Winner ‘Memoir of a Snail’ Gets U.S. Release Date From IFC Films (EXCLUSIVE)
IFC Films has set the U.S. release date for Annecy Festival winner 'Memoir of a Snail' in the heart of awards season.
Peter Debruge, Variety’s chief film critic, praised the movie’s “dark and surprisingly moving brand of storytelling,” writing: “Like Edward Gorey’s, his palette is nearly monochromatic; his characters tend to face the camera, à la Wes Anderson, as if posing for gloomy school photos; and his John Waters-esque humor is irreverent enough to encompass everything from disabilities to weird sexual kinks.” With humor, heart and meticulous attention to detail in its worldbuilding, Elliot and his stellar voice cast deliver a vivid portrayal of an outsider finding her confidence. “Memoir of a Snail” is among several of IFC Films’ offerings for the upcoming awards season, including the international feature “The Devil’s Bath” under its Shudder brand, which aims to represent Austria at the forthcoming Oscars.
