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.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture has natural fleshtones and an overall natural appearance with good color fidelity. Some slight noise and artifacts, but nothing that detracts from the experience.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
Both the English analog and Russian digital soundtracks were created from separate 35mm optical monaural soundtrack negatives.
