Kurosawa takes on the war genre in a unique film that, while it features some interesting action scenes, is more about testing the mettle and emotions of its characters. The frozen landscape is beautifully shot and this is a heavier film, in tone, than many earlier Kurosawa films.

A rare co-production from Kurosawa, this time with the Russians on board but still firmly in keeping with his humanist tradition.The location is the stunning Siberian tundra. Toshiro Mifune plays a hunter who rescues an army explorer in the wilds. Three years later the explorer returns and their friendship blossoms, but the hunter has inadvertently killed a tiger, an animal he holds in the highest reverence. The death of the tiger continues to haunt him, even when he seeks redemption in the 'civilized' world. A great story accompanied by beautiful cinematography. It's shot in 'scope so a widescreen is essential to see this at its best

Dersu is one of the most likable characters ever. Warm and touching movie about nature and friendship. Kurosawa's best.
