2012/13 Season
DERSU UZALA
USSR/Japan 1975 (U) Ipswich Film Theatre -
8 October 2012
- 7.30pm
A Russian surveyor is guided through the forests of Siberia by a Mongolian hunter and taught how to survive. This untypical work, made after an intensely difficult period for the director, is both a meditation on the difficulty of adapting to the world with age, and a visually splendid poem to man’s insignificance.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS:
Stunning film;
The power of silence in the film at moments of high emotion was really well shown. Showed the hugeness of nature and smallness of humans;
No sex, no violence, no special effects – wish they made more films like this;
A trifle long;
The skill in telling a ten minute plot over 2½ hours defies description;
Tiger should have got them all.
