Narrative Techniques

I think that there are a lot of narrative technigues used in 'Run Lola Run', such as the split screen (which I dont like as it doesent look good or realistic) and the red filtered dream sequences. The dream sequences are two big metaphors. A red filter is used which stands for;
- love
- passion
- emotion
- death
- blood
The dream sequences are used as links from the previous sequence to the next.

The director has a very distinctive style and it is very unconventional

Do you think that the story line had to be simple (as you commented before) because he was doing such different stuff with the narrative style?
