In the scene from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980) where Wendy Torrence (Shelley Duvall) discovers her husband's manuscript is nothing but stacks of pages repeating the infamous line 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy', the snowedin hotel's haunting impact on its inhabitants, most notably Jack (Jack Nicholson), is forcefully realized. The sense of panic and fear depicted by Wendy's wide-eyed horrorstricken face at the sight of the manuscript allows the viewer to visually understand the scope of the hotel's supernatural power over Jack and his mental instability. However, it is through the film's sound design that Jack's deteriorating psychological capacity is fully understood. The film's ingenious combination of music, dialogue and sound effects alongside stylish hypnotic imagery creates a powerfully dramatic relationship structured to heighten the affect of the hotel's influence on its central character, Jack. This particular scene becomes a pivotal part of the story as it portrays a transformation in Jack's character, including his increased schizophrenic-like tendencies and psychopathic behavior towards his family. Here, Stanley Kubrick accompanies the scene with intense extra-diegetic music, but places greater emphasis on contrasting the performance between Wendy and Jack, particularly their voice characteristics and delivery of dialogue. By emotionally dramatising this scene through the contrasts of performance and elements of sound design, Kubrick skilfully gives personification to the physical environment that the characters are placed in and also effectively portrays the Overlook Hotel's negative influence on Jack's psychological state.

Mark Betz has helpfully drawn attention to the pervasive presence of what he calls "the wandering women" in European Cinema of the late 1950s and early 1960s, especially in the films of Antonioni. The wandering woman walks alone through a landscape, whether city or country, without clear-cut purpose, both looking and being looked at, or if she has a purpose, we don't know what it is. The term "wandering woman" captures the connection in works of European art cinema between female presence in the public sphere and the presumption of sexual availability. For example, in Antonioni's cinema she is usually in the process of leaving a relationship, as in L'Eclisse (The Eclipse, 1962), or has temporarily left her man, as in La Notte (The Night, 1961) in a manner that exposes her to the often unwanted gaze of male strangers and to the threat of sexual assault. The sexuality of the wandering woman is, in this way, dramatized through Antonioni's plots, but it is equally rendered through performance, by the self-conscious manner in which her sexuality is acted for and captured by the camera that tracks her with intimacy in public space encounters and reacts to experiences. Antonioni's films also evoke a particular kind of art-house sexuality wherein the female characters, while they may perform for a third party in the fiction, seem always to be on display for the gaze of the camera, as if their very existence or life as a character depended on that gaze. In Antonioni, as in Vertigo, the wandering of the wandering woman is linked to the expressivity of pure cinema, or cinema without verbal language, in which narration takes place through sound and image, freeing the representation of space and time in film from the dramaturgical constraints of the "talkie" and creating a space for connotation, ambiguity, and the representation of subjectivity. Antonioni realizes these Hitchcockian concerns far beyond Hitchcock's own achievements and provided him a new vocabulary for articulating them.

"The central act of Hindu worship, from the point of view of the lay person, is to stand in the presence of the deity and to behold the image with one's own eyes, to see and be seen by the deity. Darsan is sometimes translated as the "auspicious sight" of the divine, and its importance in the Hindu ritual complex reminds us that for Hindus "worship" is not only a matter of prayers and offerings and the devotional disposition of the heart. Since, in the Hindu understanding, the deity is present in the image, the visual apprehension of the image is charged with religious meaning. Beholding the image is an act of worship, and through the eyes one gains the blessings of the divine."
