After the darkest period of his life, Akira Kurosawa was able to go abroad and make a film in the Soviet Union. The end result was Dersu Uzala, an adaptation of the touching true story of “Capitan” Vladimir Arseniev and the titular Goldi hunter who mapped the Ussuri region of Siberia together. As his only film shot outside of Japan, his only film not in Japanese, and his only film shot on 70mm, Dersu Uzala certainly stands out amongst Kurosawa’s formidable filmography. It also earned him the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Listen to Sanshiro’s Boys discuss how well it fits in with the rest.
