    If you’re staying in with your significant other . . .

    Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy star as a married couple whose relationship inevitably falls apart in **Ned Benson’**s The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. The film depicts both sides of the breakup, each remembered in vastly different ways. Think of it as a more compelling version of the concept of memory explored in Showtime’s The Affair.

This 1958 film about a femme fatale (played by Jeanne Moreau) who is plotting to kill her husband was Malle’s directorial debut and features a soundtrack completely improvised on the spot by Miles Davis.
