Intertextuality - In the film a variety of genres are shown. The Western genre is shown when the cowboy appears. The romance genre is shown when Rita and Diane get intimate with each other and the Mystery genre is shown throughout the film through the different scenes as the audience does not know which parts of the movie is reality and which is not.
Hyper realism - The film is an example of hyper realism as throughout the film the audience is unable to distinguish which scenes are 'real' to the character and which are not.
Non-linear narrative - The film has a non-linear narrative as the scenes flick between what is reality and what is not. So much so that the audience are unable to see which parts of the film Diane has actual gone through.
The unreliable narrator - Due to being unable to distinguish reality in the film, the audience are unable to trust / believe Diane throughout the film.
Creativity - The film shows it's creativity through the use of camera angles and lighting. Creativity is also shown through the use of camera movements.
