Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: ominous; themes: isolation, movement into darkness; style notes: high-contrast lighting, static framing through an arch, deep focus

A figure in a dark coat walks away from the camera through an arched doorway into a room with a checkered floor. The scene is dimly lit, with strong contrast between the dark foreground and the illuminated interior.

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.
