Yes, I saw this film around 5 years ago here in LA.  At
that time, it was shown with English subtitles.  The reason
that you gave the film high marks in direction is that it
was made by Kurosawa (Samarai trilogy, etc.)  This film was a
joint effort from Japan and Russia which was unusual in
consideration of the long standing enmity of these 2 nations
toward each other.  As I recall, the fellow who played the
role of Dersu was actually from Mongolia.
