Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: chaotic; themes: crowd, movement, disorder; style notes: high-angle wide shots, stark black-and-white contrast, dynamic composition with diagonal lines from the steps

A crowd of people is shown on a wide set of stone steps. Some individuals are running or falling, while others are standing or moving up and down the stairs.

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.
