on Kanopy, streaming. I've seen it about four times, now.Someday, I have to study early Russian film history: how did an Eisenstein "happen?" Is it like Russia's sudden explosion of novels? Seemingly from nowhere, with little fiction history, it produced three true geniuses of that medium, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and Turgenev.
(And, to answer your earlier question, I believe the 200 in "Cargo 200" refers to the maximum allowed weight of 200kg for a dead, repatriated soldier).
