This produces a viewpoint akin to tilting one&#8217;s head to the side.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For me I love the Dutch angle, because it creates a psychological uneasiness. Things feel off-kilter, unsteady, and unusual.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Examples from Film Noir<\/h2>\n<p>I see lots of great examples of the Dutch Angle in film noir, like the film: &#8220;Kiss Me
