Quotes

• This film is extremely visual. It is difficult to describe in words without running the risk of losing or boring the reader.
  I have come up with a simplified summary, therefore, like a readers guide, which will conjure up the images in as few words as possible :

— the beginning is Leon: The Professional

— the middle is Inception

— the end is 2001: A Space Odyssey

Don't interpret this as pretension on my part, merely a visual, emotional and philosophical point of reference.

• "NOTA", for his film Lucy, as quoted in "Luc Besson's Statement Of Intent For 'Lucy' Compares The Film To '2001,' 'Inception' & 'Leon The Professional'" by Kevin Jagernauth, in Indiewire (28 July 2014)

The Fifth Element (1997)

• You no trouble. Me... Fifth element... supreme being... me protect you.

• You humans act so strange. Everything you create is used to destroy.

Lucy (2014)

• Life was given to us a billion years ago. What have we done with it?

• Learning's always a painful process.

• I AM EVERYWHERE
