What's left behind the scenes

  • The plot is based on the novel of the same name by traveler and explorer of the Far East Vladimir Arseniev (1872-1930).
  • Before the start of filming, employees of the Soviet embassy in Japan contacted Akira Kurosawa and offered him to make a film for the Soviet Union. They argued that television in the USSR was not yet very well developed, and the country lacked its own screenwriters and directors.
  • Akira Kurosawa hoped to film it back in the 1950s, but much time was spent adapting the plot to Japanese realities. He could never have imagined that one day he would film it with Soviet actors in the USSR.
  • The film's creative team consisted of about a hundred people, and only six of them were Japanese. There was only one translator for everyone.
  • It took 3 years to make the film.
  • To make the tiger attack scene more realistic, it was decided to use a wild animal, not a trained one.
  • Before work began on the film, employees of the Soviet embassy in Japan contacted Akira Kurosawa and offered to have him make a film for the Soviet Union. They argued that television in the USSR was not yet well-developed and that the country lacked its own screenwriters and directors.
  • Akira Kurosawa had hoped to film it as early as the 1950s, but much time was spent adapting the plot to Japanese realities.
