		Dersu Uzala (1975) is Akira Kurosawa's magnificent tone poem that simultaneously exalts the wonders of nature and the glory of human friendship.
		Dersu Uzala, in this film, epitomizes the old ways – a nostalgic past in which men were more attuned to nature, living within nature rather than exploiting and despoiling it.
		Dersu Uzala is as much a spiritual guide as a trail guide for his companions and for us as viewers.

	Dersu Uzala (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The title character (a gnomish Maxim Munzuk, a kind of backwoods Yoda) is a solitary hunter who agrees to help Arseniev (an affectingly meditative Yuri Solomin) and his party of soldiers chart the frozen unknown at the turn of the century.
		The irony, of course, is that Dersu is complicit in his own downfall, ensuring the end of noble savagery just as surely as civilization's gift of smallpox kills off his family.
		The bond between Dersu and Arseniev resonates with poignant melancholy, and fittingly the parting gift from the scientist to his guide is the latter's undoing.

	Dersu Uzala movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		Dersu Uzala is from Japanese director Akira Kurosawa`s later period, and is a special and unique film, on par with any other of his acknowledged classics.
		Dersu is a man who truly is a piece of the nature around him, so attached he refers to all the elements of the world, from the sun to animals, as "men".
		Dersu yells at it as if the animal is a deliberate prowler making Dersu`s life difficult, or perhaps like a god or a devil.

	Dersu Uzala 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Akira Kurisawa's 1975 scar winning film, Dersu Uzala, follows the adventures of a trapper from Siberia's Goldi tribe as he journeys from his element, the temperate monsoonal forests of the Eastern seaboard to his bewilderment when he arrives in modern 'civilisation'.
		He could shoot a deer in the eye at three hundred metres, determine a man's nationality and age by his footprint and smell out wild animals or native villages by their own particular scent.
		Was he just one man or, as has been suggested, a mixture of several hunter-trappers who guided the Russian explorer, Vladimir Arseniev over his three expeditions to map the mountains and forests of 'Ussuria' between 1902 and 1908.

	Dersu Uzala
		Dersu says simply, "If we don't work fast, we die." The wind and cold become an almost palpable enemy, increasing in strength as the light ebbs away and they struggle to survive.
		The sense that Dersu really belongs out in the wilds is brought home very sharply by what happens when he encounters civilised life -— he asks a man he meets to look after his money, not even realising it’s been stolen when the man disappears.
		Dersu Uzala is an intimate, character-driven drama with an amazing setting in the Siberian wilderness.

		Whether rescuing Dersu from impending river rapids or frantically cutting stalks of grass to build a shelter against the menacing icy night, it is the pacing of these scenes that mesmerize the viewer.
		The short third act depicts Dersu as a fish out of water living with Arseniev's family until it is obvious that Dersu belongs in his beloved woods.
		Dersu is not a dialogue dependent film and there is quite a bit of narration.

		There's no question that Dersu Uzala (the film is named for the Goldi character, played by Maxim Munzuk) has the muscular, imaginative look of a large-canvas Soviet Mosfilm from the 1970s.
		Dersu Uzala (Maxim Munzuk) sits down at their camp-fire and smokes his pipe.
		DERSU UZALA needs no recommendation: it won an oscar as best foreign film in 1975 and every fan of Akira Kurosawa will see it sooner or later.

	Akira Kurosawa
		Given the expanse of the Siberian wilderness as his cinematic canvas, Akira Kurosawa responds with the visually hypnotic, deeply affecting portrait of nature, friendship, and survival in Dersu Uzala.
		To define Dersu Uzala as a story about an aboriginal tribesman is to describe humanity through a two-dimensional photograph.
		Dersu Uzala is an allegory for the environmental toll of civilization, a testament to a profound, enduring friendship, and a heartbreaking portrait of aging and obsolescence.

		Dersu lives in total harmony with nature; he respects it and knows how to avoid its dangers.
		This time Dersu is getting older and the combination of superstition, desperation and love for his friend will convince him to follow Arseniev’s advice and go to live in the city with him.
		Dersu will soon realise that the city is not his natural habitat.

	DVD Review - Dersu Uzala
		While they are there, huddled around the fire, a nomadic Mongolian or Goldi tribesman named Dersu Uzala (Maxim Munzuk) stomps on over out of the darkness, settles by the fire, lights his pipe and introduces himself.
		Over time, though, Dersu earns the respect of the soldiers, showing a great natural instinct and compassion for the land they are surveying - even saving many of their lives in the process.
		But Dersu's compassion and bravery is seen more directly when it comes to protecting those he admires.

		In typically Russian style, the ending of the film is tragic rather than funny or self-satisfied: Dersu, his sight failing, is brought to a Russian town, I think Khaborovsk, to live with the Russian officer, his wife and little son.
		Dersu cannot live in a town and begs to return to his taiga (eternal Siberian forest).
		Later, it transpires that Dersu was murdered by person or persons unknown, probably for his new and expensive hunting rifle.

		Dersu Uzala (which won an Oscar for best foreign film) centers on the friendship of a Tsarist army engineer (the liner notes incorrectly refer to him as Soviet), Captain Arseniev (Yuri Solimon) and the Mongolian guide for his surveying party, the title character (Maxim Munzuk).
		Dersu Uzala is a nomadic member of the Goldi people, hunting for subsistence in the wilds of Siberia, his family all dead in a smallpox epidemic.
		When Dersu's eyesight begins to fail, Captain Arseniev takes Dersu to his home in the city, but the nomad can no more remain in the city than a tiger in a pen.

		Arseniev then wrote a remarkable memoir devoted to the Goldi trapper, Dersu, who saved his and his men's lives on more than one occasion while showing them the ways of the deep forest.
		An action-filled memoir of exploration and natural history, Arseniev's record of friendship with Dersu is one of the finest works of amateur ethnography.
		The Dersu that appears here, is actually a composite character, combining the real Dersu with myths about the primitive lifestyle and heroic deeds of "noble savages" in the manner of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales.

		In the top half of the story, Dersu’s unsophisticated manner and outlook make him an object of fun from Arseniev’s men, but his endless resourcefulness and rough-hewn wisdom eventually win the civilized men’s respect.
		To modern audiences, Dersu seems part Yoda, part Davy Crockett, with his blend of pre-Christian spirituality and shrewd woodcraft.
