I need a deep analysis on the film "The Third Man" from 1949 by Carol
Reed, Graham Greene and Orson Welles.

One of the aspects that make "The Third Man" a unique film, is it?s
stylistic and visual perfection and particularly the tilted camera
angles. The question I want to answer is this: What function do the
tilted camera angles have on the film; it?s narration, aesthetics,
suspense, characters, love story, ethics, and so on.

Perhaps, like Greene, Reed and Welles, the cameramen were drunk.

- not joking 
- I vaguely remember something about it being quite an experience for Graham Greene

The technique is known to cinematographers as Dutch angle or tilting,
in which the frame is titled away from the perpendicular. It is used
by directors to impart a sense of detachment from the normal points of
reference, to emphasize violent action, to visually describe a
psychological sense of disorientation in the characters, to indicate
strangeness or untrustworthiness in characters, literally crookedness,
etc. Search for [cinematography Dutch angle Third Man] for useful
results. The origin of the term is obscure, but might relate to its
heavy use by German expressionist directors, being a corruption of
Deutsch (much like Pennsylvania Dutch).
