I saw the mythic elements in Run Lola Run in the fact that everything was done three times. I related it more towards Don Quixote because of the stories we saw within the overall storyline, such as each person Lola comes into contact with has their own story that changes. For example, the woman who called her a bitch, and her story.
In the film, I saw it as more of alternate outcomes of the same story, ending up with either the death of Lola or Matti.
In the third "outtake" I related it more to 100 Years of Solitude, with the magic realism. For example, the chances in real life of someone winning that much money doing very little at the casino is very unlikely, so the gods must have been on her side that day. Also one can relate that too Grimm's Fairy Tales where everything has a happy ending.
