Moses' parting of the Red Sea in The Ten Commandments is a good example. In
fact the scene has similarities with the Caspar Friedrich painting you
mention. There may be examples in Lawrence of Arabia too, but I think
Lawrence is mostly filmed from the front.

Would you also include in this category the hand-held "follow shot," such as
the one used in Rouch and Morin's Chronique D'Un Ete, in which the camera
follows the subject of the action from behind? It's also very prominent in
Rouch's Gare du Nord. I have also seen this in Woody Allen's Husbands and
Wives, and it is very prominent in Darren Aronovsky's The Wrestler.
