The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Her

With his unique vision, writer/director Ned Benson ambitiously captures a complete picture of a relationship in the beautifully relatable portrait of love, empathy and truth that is THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY: HIM/HER. Once happily married, Conor (James McAvoy) and Eleanor (Jessica Chastain) suddenly find themselves as strangers longing to understand each other in the wake of tragedy. The film explores the couple’s story as they try to reclaim the life and love they once knew and pick up the pieces of a past that may be too far gone. This dual version, which premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, showcases two films side by side – titled HIM and HER – that examine each side’s perspective and take a further look into the subjectivity of relationships.

This is the HER version, told from Eleanor’s point of view.
