Two examples come to mind:
1) the asthmatic condition that saves the young son of Mel Gibson in Signs from being killed by the alien's death gas
and
2) Teresa Russell gasping for breath and being given a tracheotomy, intercut with scenes of earlier orgasms, in Nicholas Roeg's Bad Timing/A Sensual Obsession
"For beauty is the beginning of terror we are still able to bear, and why we love it so is because it so serenely disdains to destroy us" Rilke's First Duino Elegy
