One of Kurosawa’s remarkable, late-period films, Dersu Uzala was his only work produced and financed outside of Japan. It's an extraordinary tale of friendship and survival, based on the memoirs of Russian explorer Vladimir Arseniev, and boasts stunning cinematography and breathtaking physical beauty.
