Symphonie, das in so unterschiedlichen Filmen wie Zardoz (USA/IRL 1974), Irréversible (F 2002), The Fall (USA/IN 2006), The King's Speech (USA/UK 2010) oder X-Men: Apocalypse (USA 2016) den jeweiligen Dramaturgien, oft unterstützt durch Zeitlupe, einen immer gleichen, schicksalshaften Charakter verleiht.
