This is a rare 35mm screening of Akira Kurosawa’s Oscar-winning Dersu Uzala: an epic adventure of comradeship and survival set against a backdrop of treacherous mountains, rivers and icy plains of the Siberian wilderness.
The film is based on the early 20th century autobiographical novels of a military explorer who met and befriended a Goldi man in Russia’s unmapped forests. Kurosawa traces the evolution of a deep and abiding bond between the two men: one civilized in the usual sense, the other at home in the sub-zero Siberian woods. A deeply humane exploration of the impact of civilization on nature, as well as one of the most beautifully photographed of Kurosawa’s films.
