Reviews for Dersu Uzala
It's sweetly told and heartwarming, much like a Disney film, but not demanding much of the viewer.
The episodes in this second part go on endlessly, loosely, obviously. They lack the revelations of the winter scenes and they do little but belabor at length the points already made. They wreck the film's balance and make its achievements dull.
To Arseniev, Dersu embodies something civilized men have lost Neither can really understand the other which is precisely what makes their friendship so special.
Every frame of Dersu Uzala is simply beautiful to look at. . . . Kurosawa's 140-minute masterpiece is a . . . quietly captivating experience.
