Has Akira Kurosawa done any other movies in Russian? unforgetable story of the friendship between a russian captian and a Mongolian hunter nomad.
1902: Arseniev (Yuri Solomin), a czarist officer and his men exploit and map the Usuri-region. The gigantic pine-forests of the Taiga evoke visions of the Walpurgis-night. Dersu Uzala (Maxim Munzuk) sits down at their camp-fire and smokes his pipe. The old man who lost his wife a... ...( read more )
¿Quien puede discutir que Kurosawa era un genio?
Los pasajes de la tundra siberiana son increibles. El personaje del cazador logra ser a la vez sublime y patetico. Eso si, hay que verla con calma porque se hace pesada
Russion officer befriends Mongol. Oscar winner from Kurosawa, made in Russia when nobody would fund his movies in Japan.
I liked this movie for several reasons. First thing, it's Kurosawa, and that guarantees quality. Second, I'm surveyor so I'm always glad to see my "colleagues" on motion pictures. Third, I like Russian movies, and this one is just that. And last, but most important, Dersu Uzala i... ...( read more )

I gotta see this film!!! Its definitely on my Must See List As Soon As Possible!! Probably one of the most interesting recos someone has ever gave me :D
"Dersu Uzala" is, first and foremost, beautiful. The it's interesting on a intellectual level. It is true that the script is particularly deep, but the sheer beauty of the film must not be missed. Dersu himself is a great character, one of the greatest perhaps, in film history. H... ...( read more )
An epic tale on the story of man and mother nature. Kurosawa's Russian journey through the wilderness of friendship and old age.
If you ever want to experience living in the wilderness just watch this movie. It's just amazing to think of what it took to make this film
the scene in star wars, where Luke it standing in front of a sunset with 2 suns, was probibily inspired by this film. Kurosawa did not use special effects for this shot.
the look of an epic from the soviet perspective with the genius of kurosawa makes for one of the most incredible films ever made, a thrilling story and great acting, simply stellar and an achievement
One of my five top favorite films from one of my top five directors. Too powerful a story of relationship and existence to characterize. Watch it yourself.
Everything sad and wonderful in the world summated in the one film. Beguiling, and the greatest film ever.
