Memoir of a Snail (out Oct 17) is a stop motion animated feature from Oscar winning Aussie Adam Elliot (Harvie Krumpet). It's a VERY dark comedy about a young girl enduring a troubled life. For those with an offbeat sense of humour, Memoir of a Snail is to be admired for its nuttiness and randomness. One of the best Australian films this year. Grade: A-.
