Tossup

A room in this place has been recreated in VR by Mathew Solomon at the University of Michigan, which also hosts the largest archive of relevant papers. A series of dissolves brings the camera closer to a misty matte painting, then to a miniature of this location where a single window is lit. (15[1])Sound in this location was altered to slightly echo, including in a scene in which a man sitting in a throne-like chair deep in the shot suggests a picnic. Many exteriors of this place are actually buildings in Balboa Park. This place’s owner (*) tears apart a bedroom (10[1])before standing in a hall of infinitely reflecting mirrors. This Florida building looms on a hill with a “no trespassing” sign. (10[1])For 10 points, a “News on the March” narrator quotes Coleridge to describe what estate of Charles Foster Kane? ■END■
