IFC Films Releases First Teary-Eyed Trailer for Animated Feature Oscar Hopeful ‘Memoir of a Snail’ (EXCLUSIVE)
"Memoir of a Snail" drops the first trailer for the animated feature which has voice performances from Saran Snook and Kodi Smit McPhee.
The charming stop-motion adult drama took nearly a decade to create and follows the life of Grace Puddle, a lonely misfit with a passion for collecting ornamental snails and a deep love for romance novels. With a swell of dramatic music and a lot of tears being shed, it highlights the film’s heartfelt nature and meticulous detail in its stop-motion creations. 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.”
