Kurosawa's co-Russian production film 'Dersu Uzala', a tale about a bonding friendship between a Goldi Siberian hunter and a Russian surveyor, is filled with classic touches of cinematic beauty, great character development, and sometimes edge of the seat survival.
This has to be one of the most beautiful looking films put to screen that I have ever seen. The landscape is filled with the change of the seasons of great autumn colours, lakes that mirror great reflections, smoke over fire in a blue hue, to winter desolate landscapes and sheering sun that sets on the fateful band of men who dare to pass through the dangerous terrain.
Throw in a great bond of characters and a lesson about a time when humanity was more in touch with nature instead of trying to dominate it, a classic Kurosawa ending, and you have cinematic gold. A film not to be missed on the big screen.
Rating 9 out of 10
