The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby Movie DVD Release Date, Reveals and News: DVD Release to be in December this Year

You would be forgiven for thinking that this is just one movie from the title. It is in fact three movies that are collectively called The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. The movies are actually titled Him, Her and Them. The movies written and directed by Ned Benson premiered in the Uncertain Regard at the 2014 Cannes Film festival. Ned Benson has earned his stripes with work on shorts like Four Lean Hounds and this series is his first work on a feature film. The movies are a little unorthodox in that they did not really get major theater release despite the fact that the Weinstein Company is the distribution company in charge. He and she however were released as a double feature on October 10^th as a double feature.

The central theme in these movies is loss. The Based in the same time period the movies tell the samwe story from three points of view. The titles really tell who's point of view the movie is telling at the time. The young couple in the movie is living in New York and is faced with different emotions as they face a life changing event that threatens their marriage. This event causes the unraveling of their marriage and affects its stability so much that at some point it feels like our couple is dealing with the end of their relationship.

The movie stars Jessica Chastain who asked to work with Ned Benson after she saw his short movie Four Lean Hounds at the Malibu Film Festival. She worked with him on the 2010 short movie The Westerner after which Ned asked her if she would be willing to work on The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. Chastain has received a host of nominations for various work including The Tree of Life and The Help. James McAvoy is acting opposite Chastain. The movie is set for a December 2014 DVD release date.
