Dersu Uzala (Russian: Дерсу Узала) is a 1975 joint Soviet-Japanese film production directed by Akira Kurosawa.
This film is based on the 1923 memoir of the same title by Russian explorer Vladimir Arsenyev, about his exploration of the Sikhote-Alin region of Siberia in 1902-10. The film depicts Arsenyev (played by Yury Solomin) leading a series of mapping expeditions in the region, where he and his team soon encounter an old Nanai hunter, Dersu Uzala (1849-1908). Dersu Uzala teaches the men many valuable lessons about wilderness survival and the meaning of life, eventually becoming a close friend of the explorer.
In the film, the Nanai people are referred to by their obsolete Russian name, Gol'ds.
The film won the Grand Prix at the Moscow Film Festival and the 1975 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Since the film was made during the heyday of the Sino-Soviet confrontation, and its story took place in the disputed Ussuri basin (an island in the Ussuri River almost led the Soviet Union and People's Republic of China to war in 1969), many in China thought that it had a hidden Russian expansionist agenda. Aolei Yilan, a film released in 1979 about the Daur people's resistance against Russian expansion in the Amur region, can be viewed as a response to Dersu Uzala from the Chinese.
