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 Rus-
sian explorer Vladimir Arseniev.
In the harsh environs of the Siberian fron-
tier, an expedition led by Arseniev en-
counter the nomadic Goldi tribesman
Dersu Uzala, who agrees to guide the
men through the vast uncharted wilder-
ness. |

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. Bearing all the unmistakable hallmarks of the great
cinema master, Kurosawa’s Oscar-winning classic is a visually stunning humanist epic. |
