Dersu Uzala

Kurosawa's remarkable film - his only produced and financed outside of Japan - is an extraordinary tale of friendship and survival, based on the memoirs of Russian explorer Vladimir Arseniev. In the harsh environs of the Siberian frontier, an expedition led by Arseniev encounters the nomadic Goldi tribesmaan Dersu Uzala, who agrees to guide the men through the vast uncharted wilderness. Although initially considered by the group as little more than a savage, Dersu's skill, courage and spiritual wisdom soon earn their respect and admiration, as well as instilling in them a new-found compassion for the natural world.

  Good film ruined by poor telecine (video quality)
  
  Really dreadful transfer (poor video quality), with poor (visual quality) subtitles ruins an interesting and at times moving Kurosawa. Surely a better print/... read more »
