Review of Dersu Uzala (1961) by António B — 17 Nov 2007
At a hundred and forty minutes, this movie is not a second too long. Every still is filled with emotion, every sound carries meaning(just listen whenever sun enters a shot in the lake survival episode) and every scene is a self-contained story that would take a lesser director half a movie to tell.
It's a film about a superhero that every man wants to be, and it is as strong-willed as it's characters. It will suck you in, grind you to pieces and spit you out a better man. Seriously.
