Narrative Structure...


Can someone explain to me how the story mechanics logically connect, plot point to plot point? Or was this movie just a string of totally random, disconnected events?

It's the Alice in Wonderland structure.

AIW has no stakes or overarching problem for Alice. More importantly it's intended primarily as a surreal comedy rather than a drama.

Incorrect. Her problem is finding the white rabbit and later the stakes are avoiding being beheaded. More importantly, narrative is not dependent on genre or vice versa.
