Maybe it's because of love for drawing,
but overall I'm a big fan of the use of the back light (specially
when it comes naturally). The way I see in photography the use of it
is like “literally” drawing silhouettes with light. But there's
also different meanings behind the use back light or any kind of
light for that matter since it all comes on what kind of feel or
particular image you want to pass, and how much you want pass.
Smooth sources of light in The Deep Blue
Sea show us intentions without action.
In Lawless, the use of... lack of light
actually... show us small spots of Jessica Chastain's face and just a
small spot of brightness in her eye, telling us that she's
uncomfortably awake when she should be relaxed and at sleep.
In Killer Joe, the contrast of
temperature in a single framing, details on how the light behaves on
the character's eyes and hair strands.
In Brokeback Mountain, there's a sea
with waves made of silhouettes of light provided by the moon. It's
beautiful and work like a canvas, the man surrounded by the Nature.
Lincoln has a similar effect of Deep
Blue Sea, delivering intentions. The action can be happening but its
hidden by the light, instead of the darkness.
In The Beasts of the Southern Wild, the
contrast of light and dark in the rain creates some kind of mosaic
mixing the animal's hair and the raindrops.
In Hannibal (TV Series), the use of back
light draws a contour around the character Will, a silhouette of
light.

Finally, The Forgiveness of Blood. I
couldn't find pictures that showed exactly what I wanted but this
film has a great use of back light as well, can be similar to the
Hannibal's case or more subtle like this the first image. The film
takes a lot of exterior locations and they balance the light shown in
the characters at the same time that they show the beautiful contour
of light in the clouds and the environment around them. I didn't find
screenshots for this movie, but the TV series True Detective does a
similar job with that.
Well, I hope you find this interesting
as I did!
