Yes, I know about the issue of the real vs the imagined that runs throughout the film, culminating of course in him participating in an imagined game of tennis. (A difficult scene because it seems to suggest that prior to it he did actually have a grip on reality.) The idea of him trying to show her the 'real' beat behind the actual one never occured to me though and definitely allows the scene to make more sense than I'd previously credited it with.

It's an interesting film in general because it seems to insist upon the kind of 'deep' reading that its theme ultimately criticises.
