1. The film is non-linear. The story that Christian is writing is framed within him writing it at the beginning of the film. The story he's writing is real, and eventually catches up as he finished the story.
2. The film is incredibly hyper real, but becomes less so as it catches up to Christian in the present. It starts out fast paced but becomes slower toward the end. An example of its hyper reality is when Christian and Satine dance on the clouds.
3. The film pastiche in its use of Mashups. It has taken many different songs and remixed them in a way, adapting them to the film.
4. During the opening of the film, the director makes the camera cut quickly between different shots, showing the pacing of the opening, and also disorientating the audience.
5. The film mixes genres. The film is a musical drama with comedy elements. They subtract from reality, making the film seem much more like a fabrication or a dream.
