As we're talking about this and someone has mentioned "Vertigo", I'll
chime in that Scorcese does the same thing in the diner in
"Goodfellas".
Maybe "Russian Ark" would qualify: by the end of the film you've pretty
much lost any idea of the geography of the Hermitage (if you had it in
the first place!)
Someone also mentioned the pull to reveal in Naked Gun. I'm sure there
must be loads of these in comedy films. There's the one where William
Shatner is apparently speaking on a video phone. But then he opens the
door the window of which he was looking through.
Napoleon with the camera on the chandelier intercut with the storm?
The death scene in The Cranes are Flying (strangely similar in a way to
the end of Belle de jour)
The opening 37 minutes of Spiritual Voices. The camera doesn't move at
all making it seem as flat as a painting but one which is imperceptibly
moving.
