Después de ver esta película tienes unas ganas terribles de abrazar a alguien con barba.

De las mejores películas que recuerdo sobre la amistad.

Two very different men form a lasting friendship in this story taken from the memoirs of the Russian explorer Vladimir Arsenyev. It was beautifully shot by Akira Kurosawa, and was the first film he made that wasn't in Japanese.

Kurosawa is best left in Japan.

I liked this Kurosawa film. Possibly because it was different than much of his other work.

Twenty minutes in, I was not only ready to turn this off, but I was thinking about throwing my TV out the window. The problem is with the title character; talking in broken sentences ("Bad man are you!") etc. I realize he's supposed to be a wise bumpkin, but it was overdone. But I chose to believe that something was lost in translation and started to concentrate on the friendship between Dersu and the Captain, and the images. This must be outstanding projected on 70mm, on this (really badly mastered) DVD it still looks amazing.

Just watched Akira Kurosawa's DERSU UZALA. This is a movie about a Russian expedition crew in Siberia that befriends a Mongolian hunter who helps them along. It's a little odd to see a Russian film from a master Japanese filmmaker, but Kurosawa was out of favor in the studios at the moment, so he went looking for greener pastures elsewhere. As the saying goes; one man's trash is another man's treasure, and the Russian's were more than happy to have Kurosawa derect a movie for them, especially after it won the 1976 Oscar for best foreign language film. The saddest part is trying to watch Dersu Uzala integrate himself into city-life and fail.

Possibly the finest use of landscape in a film ever. Better, maybe, than even the best Herzog.

Synopsis: Dersu Uzala is a 1975 Soviet-Japanese co-production film directed by Akira Kurosawa, his first non-Japanese-language film and his first and only 70 mm film. The film is based on the 1923 memoir Dersu Uzala by Russian explorer Vladimir Arsenyev, about his exploration of the Sikhote-Alin region of Siberia over the course of multiple expeditions in the early 20th century.

Opine: Part of the GFT 'Frozen Landscapes' season, a Kurosawa film that I found strange but enjoyable. It's an environmentalist bromance featuring guns, booze & tigers!

Sweet little action adventure film.
