Godard, who once said, " All you need for a movie is a fun and a girl," is one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th Century, and introduced many techniques that have improvised dialogue. Asked by a fellow filmmaker if he would at least admit that a film should have a beginning, middle and end, Godard replied, "yes but not necessarily in that order." Godard's influence can be seen in the work of many other directors, including Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Wim Wenders, and Quentin Tarantino.

The film is based on the great Italian port Leopardi, description of mankind's slow, difficult path, with the anxiety and constant worry dogging the creator. The film is also inspired by the legend of Alkmena and Amphitryon, trying to show a god's wish to experience human desire. The goal is to learn where love begins, where it takes place, and how creation comes into being.
