Redemption is a bit more than "turning over a new leaf" or "being sorry for what you have done".
Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) in Frankenstein 1931, when he understands what he has done, but can't escape his guilt and responsibility.
In which case he is not redeemed. Redeemed people do not feel guilty, because it is not fruitful but negative. A big part of redemption is forgiveness, of yourself as well as of others.
For me it is closer to achieving an integrated psyche. It is a hard thing to portray in a film without appearing either sentimental or sanctimonious because it is internal. Easier to do in classical music. The resolution of conflicts in a symphony or string quartet are analogous to redemption.

Yes, I think that was a good example.
