Toronto Video: Jessica Chastain on ‘The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby’

In “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Him and Her,” the details and struggles of a marriage are portrayed from two perspectives in essentially two separate films. “Him” tracks that relationship through the eyes of Conor (James McAvoy), while “Her” makes Eleanor (Jessica Chastain) its focus. This week, the Toronto International Film Festival has been screening the movie, occasionally in reverse order, putting “Her” first. In this video, Ms. Chastain speaks about her role and the dual requirements of playing her character in one film, and Conor’s impressions of her character in another.
