Uberfall (1928) - Erno Metzer

This impressionistic film ironically came from Germany. It uses all the psychological tricks it can think of to tell the tale of one man's assault. Metzner plays with distorted perspectives, and in several shots shows the characters reflected in curved lamps and pianos, making their bodies and faces warped and distorted. Somewhat straight forward in its narrative, but the way its told makes it worth the watch.
