In their own words

Truffaut thought of Fahrenheit 451 as a sci-fi fairytale and spoke of his love for sci-fi, especially Alphaville.

On Fahrenheit 451 · Against the Grain: Truffaut’s Fahrenheit 451 (Michael Sragow, Criterion Collection essay, reporting on a 1966 interview)

The closest point of reference might be Truffaut's 'Day For Night', though that film is a very happy celebration of moviemaking and mine is the opposite.
