The scene in which the hero and the woman look at a cut-away trunk of a tree is a reference to Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 film Vertigo which Marker also references in his 1983 film Sans soleil. The editing of La Jetée adds to the intensity of the film.
La Jetée () is a 1962 French science fiction featurette directed by Chris Marker and associated with the Left Bank artistic movement.

The 1995 science fiction film 12 Monkeys was inspired by and borrows several concepts directly from La Jetée. ==Plot == A man (Davos Hanich) is a prisoner in the aftermath of World War III in post-apocalyptic Paris, where survivors live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries.
The dialogue between the media (photography and cinematography) and the filmic signifier (film stills, storyline and narration) is constantly in the backdrop. ==Reception== In 2010, Time ranked La Jetée first in its list of "Top 10 time-travel movies".
Haptic, Marcel Weber (aka MFO), and Lucy Benson created an homage to La Jetée in 2011, for the Unsound Festival. Northern Irish rock band Two Door Cinema Club screened the film at the launch party for their 2016 album Gameshow.
