The moments of tension are good, but too much plodding through the wilderness in between. Dersu is too perfect as the wizened friend of the forest, dropping little nuggets of wisdom, being charmingly enigmatic, saving lives, impressing the cityfolk, and proving himself to be master of anything and everything to do with the outdoors. The overall theme of friendship is strong, if a bit sappy, and there are a few great scenes, but overall, blah.

A brilliant film that makes a great visual and emotional impact. The Russian wilderness is so harsh and menacing, and the weathered Dersu is so beautifully melancholy that both are impossible to forget.

I don't disagree that earlier Kurosawa is great, but I find my self most enthralled by his work in color. Dersu Uzala is at once a beautiful meditation on friendship as well as a tragic reminder of the antagonistic nature of contrasting environments.

Refreshingly different--you are unlikely to see any film quite like this one (though Jeremiah Johnson would be a ballpark side-recommendation if you like this one.) See it to see a wholly different perspective on life and the world from yours.

06 Mart 08 &Dostluk uzerine yapilmis, tam akira kurosowa tarzinda bir film.Maksim Munzuk, Dersu'yu mukemmel oynamis.Filmde uc karakter var: Dersu, Captain ve Doga! Akira Kurosowa, dogadan cok iyi yararlanmis ve cok iyi goruntuler elde etmis.Filmin tek kotu yani, bana fazla uzun gelmesi.Tamam, kabul ediyorum: birazcik sikildim.Yinede cok iyi bir film ustadan.Dersu'nun sehire gitmesi ve oradaki yabanciligi cok iyi anlatilmis ve soylenmek istenen de cok bariz: "insan dersu gibi olmali, degisim vb."

Dersu is a magnificent character but the presentation left something to be desired. My primary complaint is that by crafting the film as a flashback where we know that Dersu's fate Kurosawa robs the film of its joyous moments and fills it with a pessimistic fatalism that doesn't mesh with the rest of the film's tone. The film is also somewhat slow and detached, but if you're willing to put in the effort there's quite bit there to reflect on.
