The back of Julie--posed as Rodin's The Thinker-- in the penultimate shot of Blue. This is the perspective of her lover.
The reverse angle, and the last shot, shows her crying...

Hi everyone
I am working on the aesthetic beauty of the back. Sometimes there is more aesthetic beauty in showing the back rather than the front as in one scene towards the end of We Were Soldiers in which Mel Gibson sobs on seeing the dead bodies of both friends' and foes' being gathered at the end of the war. Please let me know if anyone could help me find any movies with such shots of/from the back when if they were taken from the front it would not have been as aesthetically striking.
Thanks.
