Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: chaotic and distressing; themes: violence, public unrest, human suffering; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, dramatic close-ups, static framing, use of shadows and extreme expressions

A sequence of four frames shows a bicycle wheel, a person in dark clothing, a crowd scene with a seated figure and bodies on the ground, and a close-up of a screaming woman. No dialogue or on-screen text is present in this beat.

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.
