Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: ominous and suspenseful; themes: isolation, intrusion, dread; style notes: high-contrast lighting, shadow-heavy composition, static camera, German Expressionist framing

A figure in a dark coat stands in a dimly lit room with another shadowy figure beside them; the scene cuts to a person pressing against a wooden door, then to a view of the door alone, and finally to a figure standing near a bed in a dark room. No dialogue or on-screen text is present in these frames.

The record

Published 1922, so any US term has expired; no US registration under this title appears in the catalog. The status is a calculation from the date, not a finding about a record. 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.
