Akira Kurosawa - Dersu Uzala (1975)

Soviet Union Title: Dersu Uzala Director: Akira Kurosawa Year: 1975 Language: Russian Subtitles: English (softsubs) Source: DVD Plot Synopsis from AMG A few months after his notorious suicide attempt, Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa was regenerated by the notion of helming the first Russian/Japanese co-production. Co-scripted and directed by Kurosawa, Dersu Uzala is the story of an elderly guide and Goldi hunter (Maxim Munzuk), who, at the turn of the century, agrees to shepherd a Russian explorer (Yuri Solomin) and a troop of soldiers through the most treacherous passages of the Far East. The guide has been "one" with the land almost from birth, and is thus able to save his party from perishing. Four years in the making, Dersu Uzala won the 1976 Best Foreign Film Oscar and restored the flagging Akira Kurosawa to the top ranks of the Japanese film industry. Hal Erickson Review from AMG Director Akira Kurosawa is known for his epics, and this Russian-Japanese co-production was one of the most sweeping of his long and brilliant career. Metaphorically, the story of the crafty, stodgy Mongolian hunter who teaches a Russian about the land and its animals evokes the bankruptcy of colonialism. Physically, it is one of the most impressive filmed testaments to the majesty of nature. Breathtaking cinematography makes the Siberia-Mongolian frontier the real star of this slow-moving, proud, and unconventional buddy film. Kurosawa has made more accessible films in plot and structure, but the rugged beauty of this work is unsurpassed in his canon. Michael Betzold A voice from IMDB Dersu Uzala is slow, serene, beautiful, but nevertheless gripping. It tells of the friendship between a nomadic Siberian native and a Russian army explorer, and how the former is able to help the latter and his team to negotiate the many obstacles presented by the Siberian wilderness. We see how traditional survival methods and intrinsic common sense can help the more urbanised army men to cope with the extremes of climate and geography. Eventually the nomad is persuaded to join the general on his trip back to a town. His ignorance of urban life is apparent, but interesting nevertheless, as we do not imagine such people nor meet them in everyday life today. Kurosawa is on top form here, letting the camera take in the vastness of Siberia, and still allowing the viewers to observe the characters closely. The story is interesting too, with a sadly ironic ending (won't say any more!). I think everybody should watch this film, because everybody will have something to learn from it.

Can anyone tell me why the subtitles end 45 min before the movie ends?

RaymondW (2008-03-09)

You need to go into the srt file and find the timing error and correct it. Just look for the time frame that is out of sync. It's easy to fix, you'll just need to 'guesstamate' on the time. This is a great movie.

777shanktime777 (2008-05-22)

you can open the srt in a notepad. look at the numbers and you will see which one needs to be changed.

footballcolumns (2008-08-22)

To fix the subtitle timing error:
Open the subtitle file for CD2 in Notepad.
Do a 'Find' for the line "No, tiger always run until die."
You'll notice the times for the next line are way out of range. Fix these by putting values that are less than those on the next line.
Save the file and close.
Great Upload otherwise, thanks to kegir and the fine folks at freakyflicks.

Still to check this out, but thanks a mill guys. Also thank u runkulis for the subs..

Kara-kan (2011-08-26)

Man, if you cannot upload the correct subtitles don't upload the movie at all, or at least warn those who don't understand Russian not to download this torrent. Is this so hard to understand.
I now have wasted my time and bandwidth to download a crap. And no, the subs on opensubs.com are OK either.

radioman-lt (2012-05-10)

subtitles are ok

stevenlee091 (2013-01-01)

Subtitles are fine, but they only work when I watch this on my computer.

rashamatt (2014-07-02)

Subtitle files have SRT extension, but they should be SUB. Rename the file extensions to SUB to get GOM player and others to read them correctly.
Thanks uploader!
