Here's one example of a scene I was thinking about this week, the scene at the end of "The Farewell" (movie), when the family is driving to the airport. That scene captures how it feels to leave behind a country, and people you might not see again, which is difficult to express.
I haven't seen it, but that scene sounds powerful. Farewells are so central to cinema, there's a whole tradition from Casablanca onward. I can almost imagine it just from your description.
I think cinema does have a unique power to capture the inexpressible.

Adding it to my list! Thanks, Suparna!
