Hmm, looks somewhat interesting, I'll have to look more into it. Thanks, had never heard anything about that one.

Yeah, it's subbed.
I probably shouldn't recommend a movie I haven't seen myself but I read a review of a movie called Far North a while ago. It has female hermits, wilderness, and Sean Bean.

I've looked into that and the dude's other stuff, and Baraka (unless that's the same guy). Sounded all right, but I don't know.

Oh. I didn't realize it was an unpopular film and I thought the people here were into Kurosawa. OK then!
You might not know about it because it's a Soviet film. Yes, it's based on the book.
Basically it's an explorer re-telling events that occurred on an expedition. His crew meets a hunter in the woods who has spent his entire life in the forest. As a result, he's a total badass and helps the guys survey the area.
It's really about the hunter and the explorer, their relationships and what they learn from each other.
It's all (except for a few segments) filmed in the Siberian wilderness, throughout various seasons and landscapes.
SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST THREE MINUTES OF THE FILM!
Spoilers!
Since it's a re-telling of events, in the very beginning you discover that Dersu is dead. After a while you start to wonder with each new scene, "is this where he dies?" His eventual death still manages to catch you off guard.
It seems to me than Kurosawa would be interested in the project because it has a pretty obvious message of respecting nature and a more "primitive" way of living.

Waitaminute, according to netflix it's based on the book
Of all the random stories for Akira Kurosawa to glom onto

Well nobody even knows what it's about so it's not going to be easy.
