=== Film and audiovisual === P.R.O.F.S. opens with a student asking the question "What is epanadiplosis? The answer doesn't come until the end of the film, in a scene in which Laurent Gamelon exclaims "That's epanadiplosis.", standing next to a horse. Most of Patrick Schulmann's films form an epanadiplosis. Forrest Gump begins and ends with a shot of a feather twirling in the wind. La Vie d'Adèle begins with the heroine leaving her home as a teenager, walking down the street to catch her bus, and ends with Adèle leaving an exhibition as an adult, walking down the street to return home from the same angle. Ma place au soleil begins and ends with shots of a cyclist riding through Paris. Lean On: in the video clip for this song by Major Lazer with DJ Snake and MØ, directed by Tim Erem, the first and last scenes of the clip are an ascending and descending view of the rose window on the ceiling of the palace bedroom. Roman Polanski's films make frequent use of epanadiplosis (or rather, anaplodiplosis) to ensure narrative coherence: in The Fearless Vampire Killers, the sleigh-racing scene inverts the fight against the vampires into the vampires' contaminating victory; the concert scene in Death and the Maiden or The Pianist measures the gap between two seemingly similar scenes, but fundamentally different in the narrative of warlike violence that separates them. Ridley Scott's Alien Covenant opens and closes with the same piece of music by Wagner. The film 1917 opens and closes, some 24 hours apart, with the same character dozing against a tree. The first episode of The Middle series opens with an illustration of a plane flying over the state of Indiana, and a steward inviting his passengers to look out of the windows. The same plane appears in the final seconds of the last episode of the final season. The film Knives Out opens and closes with a shot of a mug bearing the words "My house, my rules, my coffee". At the start of Marcel Pagnol's film Topaze, the honest schoolteacher Topaze is giving dictation to a child who has remained in the classroom. Glancing at the pupil's copy, Topaze sees mistakes and wants to help him spell the word moutons correctly: "c'est-à-dire qu'il n'y avait pas qu'un moutonne, il y avait plusieurs moutonssses". At the end of the film, Topaze, now a swindler, glances at the notes his mistress has just taken about their projects in Morocco - marble quarries, phosphates, olive trees, sheep - and replies: "c'est-à-dire qu'il n'y a pas qu'un moutonne, il y a plusieurs moutonssses".
=== Music === For Anne Quesemand, epanadiplosis is a resource for melodic effects in nursery rhymes, as in Alouette:"Alouette, gentil alouette! Alouette je te plumerai...".
=== Comic strip === In the album Bouge tranquille, from the Génie des alpages series, by F'murr, in the story "Homéotéleute, Tragédie en cinq actes de monsieur Corneille", Épanadiplose is Homéotéleute's sister and expresses herself only in epanadiploses. In Moebius and Jodorowsky's L'incal series, the story begins and ends with the fall of hero John Difool into the well of Suicide Alley.
