- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: chaotic and tense; themes: mass panic, authority vs. civilians, public space as site of conflict; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, wide shots, dynamic composition with diagonal lines from steps, static soldiers vs. moving crowd
A crowd flees down wide stone steps while soldiers stand in formation below; a statue is visible in the background. The scene shifts to show people running and lying on the ground in an open area.
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.
