Leave your thoughts about Dersu Uzala.
| Film Comment MagazineElliott SteinThe film's finest passage occurs when the hunter and the captain are stranded on a frozen lake-a harrowing, spooky-gorgeous spectacle of supernatural realism. |
| DVDLaserDouglas Pratta gorgeous looking and highly affecting adventure |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonEvery frame of Dersu Uzala is simply beautiful to look at. . . . Kurosawa's 140-minute masterpiece is a . . . quietly captivating experience. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusTo Arseniev, Dersu embodies something civilized men have lost… Neither can really understand the other — which is precisely what makes their friendship so special. |
| New York TimesRichard EderThe episodes in this second part go on endlessly, loosely, obviously. They lack the revelations of the winter scenes and they do little but belabor at length the points already made. They wreck the film's balance and make its achievements dull. |
| User ReviewHeather BOne of the best all time movies ever made! But then I'm partial to Akira Kurosawa. |
| User ReviewMarc LUn chef-d'oeuvre que je ne me lasse jamais de revoir, pour ce qu'il donne a voir de la beaute de la nature et de l'ame humaine. A trully masterpiece to be watched absolutly. |
| User ReviewRayna PMy favorite film. So "simple" and so beautiful...Causes both joy and pain and gives so much hope. And how up-to-date sounds Dersu's warning of the power of nature-If wind, fire or water got angry it could get really tough for the human kind . How very insightful considering the present environmental crisis worldwide. |
| User ReviewVirgil Bthe visuals are absolutely stunning. it is slow paced but it is an amazing movie, very different from most of kurasawa's other movies |
| User ReviewRus AA quiet, poetic, and absolutely beautiful film about friendship and survival in the Siberian wilderness. Filmed entirely in the Soviet Union, Dersu Uzala is Akira Kurosawa's only film to be spoken in another language. It is a difficult and obscure film to find, which makes it all the more rewarding when you finally get the chance to see it. |
