Rita Is Real

Diane and Joe at Winkie's
Diane and Joe at Winkie's

If one splits the film into scenes and arranges them in chronological order, the story goes like this: the blonde girl wins this contest, gets to Los Angeles, wants to be an actress, meets Camilla at the audition, Camilla helps her get roles and their affair starts. Everything goes as we know — Diane hires a hitman to kill Camilla because she is jealous, finds the key, thinks Camilla is dead, kills herself when the memories, the expectations, and remorse hit her.

Camilla is not dead. She stumbles into a place she knows — her mother-in-law is the landlady in this house. She doesn't remember anything but starts gathering the pieces of her memory. In this theory, Betty exists only in Camilla's imagination and dream. She finds this key to open her memory, finds her ex-lover dead — the neighbour obviously knew her — she remembers things like the lyrics and the words of the show they play in this theatre and how they had sex. She finds this memory box from the theatre and when she is about to open it she remembers everything. That's why and when the Betty of her imagination disappears suddenly. The aunt comes back and finds the apartment empty. Camilla has left. The end. — Samppa
