## Themes & motifs

- [Mirrors and Doubles](https://cinepixo.com/topics/mirrors-and-doubles) (motif) — Betty and Diane, Rita and Camilla: the same two faces reassigned, so the second half plays as an autopsy of the first.
- [Time Out of Order](https://cinepixo.com/topics/time-out-of-order) (motif) — The dream is screened before the facts, and the second order rewrites everything the first one appeared to mean.
