I'm not sure how you could use something like that as a part of the plot, but breaking those "rules" has been done a lot.

The camera breaks the 180 degree rule at the end of American Beauty as Lester changes his mind.

You also have Ozu's entire filmography. He would consistently break the 180 degree rule, have characters speak directly into the camera, ignore continuity if it meant getting a better looking shot.

Orphan Black was a great show. Strangely it wasn't the first major film/tv show set in Toronto where one person played multiple leading roles.

I think I'd also say that Orphan Black was the best I've seen it done on a TV show, and that Dead Ringers is the best I've seen it done in a movie.

Not any colours and few quick screen changes, but 12 Angry Men (1957) is one of the most engrossing films you are likely to see. I might not seem like the kind of movie that could keep the average viewer glued to the screen, but it really is.

For more along the lines of what you are wanting I would suggest anything by Edgar Wright or Satoshi Kon.

An Inn At Osaka is the one that I would consider the most over-looked of all the films I've seen. Only 1.1k views on Letterboxd and under 300 ratings on IMDb, but it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Yesterday I watch Heinosuke Gosho's An Inn at Osaka as well as Danny DeVito's Matilda. Both were fantastic films that I would highly recommend to just about any movie lover. I had seen Matilda many times before, but it was my first time watching An Inn at Osaka.

I watched Matilda on Netflix, but you can find An Inn at Osaka on the internet archive for free.
