While watching Woody Allen's Match Point the other day i struggled to understand what was so disorientating about it.  The technique it which it is filmed is very different to that of most films, each scene is shot from a wide span view without any of the normal close up shots of the character who is speaking.
Obviously this was a purposeful decision by the director, maybe trying to create a fly on the wall effect. In my opinion many of the scenes appeared flattened by the camera angle and much of the impact was lost.
