Run Lola Run was a very fun movie to watch and I thought the director did a very good job keeping up the narrative momentum while also have many discontinuous shots and playing with the timeline of the movie. The opening scene includes an animated part where she is running down the stairs, and it does a good job of moving in between live action and the animation. We know that this scene is continuing from the live action because of the way it was set up. We see her running for the stairs and assume that this animation part is continuing the from the live action and fades back into live action when she opens the door.
The movie also has a recurring time loop that is shown by running the opening sequence every time a new loop starts. This helps us get our bearings and understand that this sequence of events is going to be different this time. Overall, most of the time loops are very similar, with only a few main differences, and a few smaller differences in how she interacts with people she passes.
When we see these people she interacts with, there is sometimes a pause in time where we can see how their interaction has changed the outcome of their future. Their future is shown by a quick sequence of pictures of what they are going to do or what happens in their life.
While this doesn’t add much to story itself, it does show that she is re-living the moment in time when she interacts with these people, multiple times throughout the movie. Their futures change depending on how their interaction is.
