Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: somber and tense; themes: distress, collective grief, social unrest; style notes: close-ups emphasize facial expressions; high-contrast lighting; static framing

A group of people, including women and men in period clothing, are shown in close-up and medium shots with distressed expressions. One line of dialogue, 'I'm sorry,' is spoken during this segment.

“I'm sorry.” 39:47 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

A Soviet work restored in the US in 1996 under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act for a term that ran to 1 January 2021. Public domain now; it was not between 1996 and 2020. The registry does not yet model restoration. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
