Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and ominous; themes: confrontation, vulnerability; style notes: high-contrast lighting, static medium shot, German Expressionist framing

Two figures are shown in a dimly lit interior, one standing over the other who is seated or reclining. The standing figure has a gaunt, pale face and long hair, while the other has curly hair and is looking up at them.

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.
