It is clear that film as a text type gives an author specific ability to enhance their ideas and themes through a range of visual techniques, whether the film be set in 1998 depicting a fiery German woman on a desperate dash to save the life of her lover, or over 200 years later showing the human race ensnared in a digital prison. Tykwer has created a distinctively visual text in ‘Run Lola Run’ through the use of a non-linear narrative structure of the film, along with the film being played in ‘real-time’. So 20 minutes within the narrative is equal to 20 minutes viewing time. The traditional structure of film has been altered in order to communicate the role of chance in one’s life. This is evident in the three separate narratives, or runs, which convey the different outcomes that exist due to Lola’s actions in time and location.
Run Lola Run follows a woman who must get 100,000 in 20 minutes to save her boyfriend. The obvious motif through this story would be time, or more specifically clocks, since all of the scenes are all different by only a few initial actions that change the course of everyone’s fate. Time controls the actions and outcomes of Lola throughout the film. The image of the cuckoo clock with the black background in the opening scene instantly suggests that time is the main focus of the film. The importance of time is also represented through the close up shots of the pendulum and the grandfather clock in the opening scene.

Time is a significant theme within the film as the pratagonist, Lola is on a game like mission to save her boyfriend, introducing the idea of game theory. This is clearly reflected through the same use of animation where Lola is given three chances to succeed in her mission. The use of multiple distinctively visual features throughout the film successfully create an exceptional viewing experience. The most significant idea conveyed throughout 'Run Lola Run' is that of time. Time is eminent from the opening sequence where the viewer observes the large clock swinging loudly from side to side.
