Dersu Uzala

I've watched this film many times just marveling at its simplicity and profundity, captured with seemingly effortless vision. As if a camera was plopped down in the middle of life as it's occurring, unpremeditated or orchestrated. This was the genius of Kurosawa at his best. To this day, if I lose my companion at a shopping mall, I call out Dersu....! Dersu.....! For me, a mall is the wilderness.

I'm not a Kubrick hater, I just don't believe in worship of a singular hero of cinema. Good luck with the Paths of Glory documentary, it sounds awesome.

I am totally insulted by the fact that I can't post a reply to a conversation but instead get the following message: >It looks like you are new to MUBI! Access to posting in our forums is granted automatically after you explore the site more. Try watching some films, creating a list, favoriting films, commenting on The Daily Notebook and other activities.< I have a life and a job which don't include hanging around film blogs until somebody "up there" is satisfied. I have looked around the site and watched some film on it, unless you mean paying for something. I'm a filmmaker with a lot to contribute but I will never go to this snob site again. Goodbye
