No story, just impulsive clicking. I had not heard of the Dutch angle...I learned something new! Thank you, raingirl!

Love it!

Thank you!

The Dutch angle is one of many cinematic techniques often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed.
Fun indeed....

Good info, Peter. I'll find out why it's called the "Dutch angle." That makes me think of Ingmar Bergman. I seem to remember that angle in at least one of his films...or maybe it was someone else.

"History: “Dutch” does not refer to Holland; it is a distortion of “Deutch,” which is German in German. The Dutch angle, also called the Dutch tilt and canted angle, originated with German filmmakers during World War I when an Allies naval blockade prevented films from being imported to and exported from Germany."

Well, that doesn't explain why German filmakers used a tilted angle when there was a blockade. (The Google definition doesn't cite a source!)

Interesting...

Do you know Jan DIBBETTS by the way ?
