SYNOPSIS
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. 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 opens a window into the subjectivity of relationships by exploring both sides of one couple’s story as they try to reclaim the life and love they once knew. Created as part of a three-feature project, THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY: HIM and HER each tell the story from Conor and Eleanor’s perspectives respectively, while this third version combines their narratives.
