The protagonist's Mediterranean loafers are a direct reference to these worn in Purple Noon.

Makis makes a reference about the way Alain Delon (as Tom Ripley) get rid of Philippe's body, on Plein soleil.

The assumption-of-false-identity plot is used here, and the drowning element is also a thematic reference (to both this film and "Boudu sauvé des eaux").
