You can gat this effect with some high-end cameras or lenses, although I do
not know how it is called in English. You need to be able to dis-align the
lens and the film (rotation and/or translation). I believe you can also
achieve this using an enlarger.

You can shear the camera to get the effect. See the shear.pov file in the
../scene/camera/ directory of pov 3.5. Don't forget to switch the vista
buffer off (-uv).
