Response to this comment:
metaphysics vs. reality/fantasy
to reiterate - i go with a much more metaphysical interpretation (hence known as the Limbo Theory) to the movie than the reality/fantasy theory.
Of course - I left out the most important example in my previous post (see in response to "life, love, death...") which Joshua brought up...
the whole limousine scene *slapping forehead*
i.e., if we try to put the movie back into chronological order - it begins with the wannabe actress Dianne falling in love with Camilla, being invited to the party in the limo which is critical to her subsequent deterioration.
hence follows said deterioration--> obsession, bla bla, hitman, bla bla suicide --> LIMBO/SOUL SHIFT
and then...
Amnesiac Rita, Betty, a karmic attraction that pulls them to try and 'solve' the riddle, which in itself is the means to get things back on track.
Everything actually abruptly ends when Rita opens the blue box. It is at that point that things have shifted back into their 'proper' place.
In response to the Adam/Betty scene in the previous post, my interpretation is that it was love at first site.
Note that all the mafia dudes warned him that "no matter what, he has to point at the Camilla in the booth, and see 'that's the one'"
In my metaphysical interpretation, the mafiaondoes are angels - or whatever - doing Death's will, and therefore have prior knowledge that Adam will fall in love with Betty's character (who was originally Camilla).
in short - i see the film as one big symbol of the utter worship of the trade-in-souls that is the Hollywood business.
