Story Synopsis

Akira Kurosawa’s Dersu Uzala was produced as a Japanese/Soviet co-production and filmed against the beautiful backdrop of a frozen Siberia. The story is about a Russian captain and his crew who are sent to survey vast uncharted jungles and tundras along the Russian-Manchurian border in the early 1900’s. There, an odd frontiersman named Dersu Uzala meets, befriends and guides the explorers. The film is a character study of this Siberian hunter who lives in harmony with nature and is seemingly unaffected by an outside civilization.
