Dersu Uzala, directed by Akira Kurosawa, has shown in the US. In fact
it was shown at a local "art" theater within the last six months. It is
not a "soviet" film per se, it is a Japanese film made in cooperation
with the Soviet National Film Board, and filmed primarily in Siberia.

The plot seemed to me to be fairly straightforward, having to do with
the goodness of simple, old fashioned values, the harm that well
meaning people can unwittingly do, and how modern society has lost
touch with nature.

The cinematography is wonderful, the movie itself is moving and very
well done. I would highly recommend it.
