The form and story gravitates around three common parts in the first run as the audience is innocent about the unorthodox nature of the form and story of run Lola run. These three parts are the connection between Lola and
Manni, the protagonist Lola and time. The image of the phone was used because it is the link between Manni and Lola and it its repeated throughout the film creating a link between the form of the story and the story itself. The image of the clock was used to show that the story and the form of the story are subservient to time; this is seen in the film through the race against time, with only 20 minutes to save Manni. The image of Lola is seen in the film straight after the image of the clock, this shows how the protagonist is constantly aware of the time and its importance. The animation at the end of the scene foreshadows the form of the story of a spiral. The spiral is the form of the story of the film as each run is seen as a rerun after Lola tries and fails to save Manni. The spiral is the form because the spiral is similar at every point of the curve but still different.
